History

Among the great officers of the archbishop, the butler, also responsible for the measures of the city market hall, had his hotel at the bottom of rue des Granges. The main dwelling was rebuilt in 1582. In the 17th century, the hotel was detached from the butler's function. In 1741, a façade extended the elevation of the 16th century. A carriage entrance was created with a large staircase. The present building presents a plan with two courtyards, incorporating the old corner tower with barrel vault which retains a dovecot. The main dwelling has retained its Renaissance façade. The carriage entrance leads to the large stone staircase with wrought-iron balustrade. It gives access, on the upper floor, to a set consisting of a drawing room framed by two bedrooms with alcoves which have retained their Louis XVI decoration.
