A hotel with a large Salle de la Comédie featuring a parterre, orchestra and stage surrounded by two series of dressing rooms.
The Hôtel de Ville in Mâconnais is housed in the former Hôtel de Montrevel, built between 1746 and 1751 by Abel-Michel Chesnard de Layé, who passed it on to his son in 1753, who in turn sold it in 1767 to Comte Melchior de Labaume de Montrevel. A wealthy landowner in the Bresse and Mâconnais regions, he undertook major expansion work. He built the large Salle de la Comédie (now the Salle du Conseil Municipal), with a parterre, orchestra and stage surrounded by two series of boxes. He had a number of plays performed there, which all the nobles and bourgeois of Mâcon loved. The Comédie was destroyed by fire on the night of February 8-9, 1907. Before being guillotined during the French Revolution, Comte de Montrevel sold his hotel to the city of Mâcon on March 8, 1793. The marriage hall features sumptuous wood panelling and a library with medallion portraits of ancient philosophers. In the entrance hall, the staircase with its wrought-iron banister and the grand salon, like the marriage hall and the council chamber, are particularly worth a visit.
