Origin and history

Hotel Montillet is a private hotel located in the saved area of Dijon, Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Built during the 3rd quarter of the 18th century, it represents an example of civil architecture of this period. Its partial inscription in historical monuments, effective since 1928, concerns in particular its monumental gate on street, accompanied by its vantals, protected by ministerial decree.

The building is associated with the master of work Nicolas Lenoir, dit Le Romain, whose name is one of the craftsmen who contributed to its realization. Although the available information does not specify its original use, its status as a private hotel suggests a residential destination for an affluent family or a notable personality of the time. Today, it is part of the Dijon architectural heritage, accessible via Buffon Street.

Available sources, such as Wikipedia and the Merimée base, highlight its heritage importance, while indicating an approximate location (estimated at 5/10). The hotel Montillet thus illustrates the rich urban heritage of Dijon, marked by architectural achievements of the 17th and 18th centuries, period of prosperity for the city, then administrative and cultural center of Burgundy.
