House over 500 years old, with a quiet inner garden ideal for sitting back and reading a good novel.
Near the Notre-Dame church, so dear to the people of Dijon, stands another famous building of the city: it is a house more than 500 years old! Built in 1483 for the cloth merchants Guillaume Millière and Guillemette Durand, it is a fine example of a medieval house. Its configuration includes a shop on the first floor and an apartment on the first floor. Its basket-handle arches and its half-timbering in the form of a Saint Andrew's cross filled in with bricks, perfectly illustrate the construction methods of the 15th century. In the 20th century, a cat and an owl took place on the roof, as a nod to the nearby Owl and the Dukes' Palace, located a few meters away! And if on the facade you find a crest bearing the initials of the merchant and his wife, don't hesitate to immerse yourself even more in the place, by entering it. It's like going back in time, and you'll appreciate the calm of the interior garden in summer, to sit and read a good novel in peace. The first floor is still a store where you will find various objects and regional products to offer as a souvenir of your stay. You can also relax in the tea room of the house or taste the regional dishes of the restaurant, located upstairs. A house full of character which is, since 1943, registered as a historical monument and which was even used as a set for the filming of Cyrano de Bergerac, by Jean-Paul Rappeneau.

Members' reviews on MAISON MILLIERE
La petite terrasse est hyper agréable. Ou le 1er étage est chaleureux. On ne ressent pas du tout le centre ville, on est comme dans un petit village.
La petite boutique est top et prix abordable.
On a prit un bon chocolat caramel chaud.
Je recommande
Cependant l'accueil et le service sont quand à lui déplorable. 1h d'attente pour avoir la commande par soucis de manque de personnels, en supplément l'oublie d'une partie de la commande donc attente supplémentaire.
Pour finir personne ne réponds quand on leurs dit au revoir. Ils sont trop occupés à discuter entre eux.
A fuir.
Je n’ai pas testé la restauration mais voir un paquet de crêpes ET de gaufres industrielles traînées sur le plan de travail en cuisine lorsque l’on descend de l’étage n’incitent pas à commander.
En revanche: vin chaud maison, jus de pommes chaud aux épices ou citronnades au thym sont des musts !
Le service est très très long, et les commandes ne sont pas tjs complètes. Dommage ça fait perdre du CA !
