House whose facade is entirely built in wood and decorated with a multitude of statuettes
Built between 1490 and 1510, the Maison de Bois is probably the oldest house in Mâcon and also the most famous. Its facade, entirely built in wood, is decorated with a multitude of grotesque looking statuettes composed of fantastical characters with masks of men and monkeys, grimacing, wriggling, sitting, winged and sometimes naked. Moreover, in the 16th century, the Maison de Bois would have been the seat of the Balchic brotherhood of Malgouverne, an assembly of young people judged licentious and dissolved in 1625.
La Maison de Bois is a true institution in Mâcon, a place to visit because of its construction material. It is also a bar and a familiar place to enjoy meal for the Mâconnais who like to meet there until late in the evening. A historical monument since 1920, the Maison de Bois has been owned by the municipality since 1992. In 2011, the address has been completely renewed and given a facelift with a new, modern terrace that further enhances the historical heritage. Drinking a drink at the Maison de Bois is an essential stop!

Members' reviews on MAISON DE BOIS
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
La place aux herbes est un lieu agréable mais le personnel rend l endroit peu accueillant.
Attablés pendant 15 mn, outre les recrimminations du patron en train de ranger ses tables, la serveuse nous ignore superbement pour s occuper des clients arrivés après nous.
Nous avons levé le camp et ne reviendrons pas.
Nourriture bien copieuse mais bien trop grasse et vide de goût malgré la présentation
Prix abordable malgré la qualité non présente
J’étais de passage et je suis extrement déçu malgré la beauté du monument
Je ne conseille pas du tout
