Rue Des Forges

Forges means "metallurgy", and many streets in Dijon are named after industries, showing the essence of an ancient industrial city. The mansion next to this street also maintains its quaint appearance. Aubrio's Mansion: This 13th-century building used to be a treasury in the basement. Two arched doors and windows allow direct sunlight into the basement, so imagine the dazzling wealthy scene when visiting. It has since undergone extensive restoration. Maiarde (also known as the House of Milsan): This building was used by the mayor of Dijon in 1560 and reflects the aesthetics of the designer Samband. The artist is also known as an architect, carpenter and painter, so the decorations and patterns inside and outside the house are beautiful. Champlain Residence: Currently the seat of the tourist service in Dijon. This luxurious mansion was built in 1490 by Henri Jean Polanc, mayor of Dijon. Walking down the aisle next to the courtyard, you will find a flaming architectural masterpiece, which is a perfect combination of stone and wood. Climb the stairs to view the garden and flower beds.
