House over 500 years old, with a quiet inner garden ideal for sitting back and reading a good novel.
Close to the Notre-Dame church and its owl, so dear to the hearts of Dijon residents, stands another of the city's famous buildings: a house over 500 years old! Built in 1483 for cloth merchants Guillaume Millière and Guillemette Durand, it is a fine example of a medieval house. Its layout includes a shop on the first floor and an apartment upstairs. Its basket-handle arches and St. Andrew's cross half-timbering, filled in with brick, perfectly illustrate 15th-century construction methods. In the 20th century, a cat and an eagle-owl took their place on the roof, as a nod to the nearby Owl and the Dukes' Palace, just a few meters away! And if you find a coat of arms on the façade bearing the initials of the merchant and his wife, don't hesitate to immerse yourself in the place even more by entering. It's like taking a trip back in time, and you'll particularly appreciate the calm of the interior garden in summer, when you can sit back and read a good novel in peace and quiet. The first floor is still a boutique where you'll find a variety of objects and regional products to offer as souvenirs of your stay. You can also relax in the house's tearoom, or sample regional dishes in the restaurant upstairs. The house is full of character and has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1943, and was even used as a set for the filming of Jean-Paul Rappeneau's Cyrano de Bergerac.
