Origin and history

The Hotel Arviset Jehannin de Chamblanc, located 33 rue Jeannin in Dijon, is a mansion built in 1673 for Antoine Arviset, Treasurer of France and secretary of the king. When he died in 1679, the hotel moved to his son Philibert-Bernard Arviset, and after his disappearance in 1702, to the Jehannin family through a testamentary inheritance. Queen Ursule Jehannin, widow of Antoine Arviset, bequeaths the good to his daughter Jean Jehannin, who passed it on to his younger son, Antoine Jehannin-Arviset.

In the 18th century, Antoine Jehannin-Arviset inherited the hotel in 1720 and undertook major works from 1738, including the construction of the present façade in 1752. His son, Jean-Baptiste-François Jehannin de Chamblanc, a bibliophile and adviser to Parliament, added two galleries between 1762 and 1775 to house his vast collection of art, books (6,800 volumes in 1792) and scientific objects. These spaces, inspired by the advice of Gabriel Naudé, reflect the encyclopedic tastes of the time, with specialized offices (curiosities, Far East) and a library organized by themes.

The galleries have now disappeared, but the hotel, registered as historical monuments since 1944, bears witness to the cultural heritage of the Dijon. Its facades and covers, protected by decree of 13 March 1944, retain architectural elements of the 18th century. The building remains a symbol of Burgundy patronage and erudition, linked to figures such as Jean-Baptiste-François Jehannin de Chamblanc, whose detailed inventories (reserved at the Archives départementales de la Côte-d.
