Origin and history

The Hotel de Sassenay is a private hotel located in Chalon-sur-Saône, in the department of Saône-et-Loire, in the region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Built in the 17th century, it is a typical example of the civil architecture of this period, marked by the emergence of urban residences for local elites. Its inscription in the title of historical monuments, effective since 27 September 1948, specifically protects its facade and roof on street, highlighting their heritage value.

The 17th century private hotels, such as Sassenay, often reflect the influence of French classic styles, adapted to the needs of bourgeois or aristocratic families. In Chalon-sur-Saône, a strategic city located on the banks of the Saône River, these buildings demonstrate the economic and cultural prosperity of the region, linked to river trade and trade between the north and the south of France. These residences served as both a place of life and a symbol of social status.

Today, the Hotel de Sassenay is located at 28 rue Saint-Georges, although some sources mention an approximate address at 38 of the same street. This variation could be explained by urban changes or transcription errors in heritage databases. The monument, although protected, does not have detailed public information on its current access or use (visits, rental, etc.), depending on available sources.
