Origin and history
Hotel des Barres is a private hotel located in Dijon, in the city's protected area. Built around 1640 for Pierre des Barres, president of the parliament of Burgundy, it stands out for its main body framed with two wings, forming a courtyard closed by a wall and a wrought iron gate. The windows, decorated with classic frontons or cornice bands, reflect the architectural style of the era.
In 1783, a portico with balusters supported by ionic columns was added to the façade, enriching its aesthetics. The facades and roofs of the hotel have been listed as historical monuments since 1971. In addition, the former palm game of the hotel, located 8 Leguz-Gerland Street, was registered by decree of 17 January 2023, highlighting the heritage importance of this ensemble.
The main address of the hotel is indicated as 43 Chabot-Charny Street, although some sources also mention 8 Leguz-Gerland Street, reflecting a complex location in the urban fabric of Dijon. Its architecture and history make it a remarkable testimony of the Burgundian aristocratic habitat in the seventeenth century.
