Origin and history

The Hotel in Dijon, Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is an iconic monument of the eighteenth century, marked by its architecture and its interior elements preserved. This building, classified as a Historic Monument, illustrates the Louis XVI style through the decoration of its living room and library, as well as its staircase ramp, protected by ministerial decree in 1928. These features bear witness to the architectural elegance and refinement of the time, typical of Burgundy private hotels.

The hotel's location at 5ter rue Vaillant (formerly 9), in the centre of Dijon, reflects its integration into the city's historic urban fabric. Although the sources do not specify its original use, 18th century private hotels often served as residences for the aristocracy or the affluent bourgeoisie, playing a major social and cultural role. Their interior decoration, like that preserved here, was designed to impress and affirm the status of their owners.

Practical information on public access (visits, rentals, accommodation) is not detailed in available sources. However, its protection under the Historic Monuments suggests a recognized heritage value, even though its exact location is considered "passable" (note 5/10) according to the geolocalized accuracy criteria. Associated photographs, such as François de Dijon's Creative Commons license, help document his current appearance.
