"We didn't use the internal space, but my daughter had a fantastic time exploring the courtyard quickly, looking for "Elsa" and "Anna". A beautiful Architectural marvel along the "Owl Walk" of Dijon!"
Hartley Manuell
"A beautiful seventeenth century private mansion on Rue de la Chouette. The first thing I noticed is the richly decorated portico entrance gate with intricate lacing of ivy. There's a monogram on the base of the portico, EBMG, which its history indicates that it was to celebrate Etienne Bouhier de Chevigny second marriage (the owner of this mansion) to Madeleine Giroud. Inside there's a garden but with not much decorative work and a guard room with a huge fireplace adorned with a painting of Hero and Leandre (William Etty? ). It's a lovely place to visit and suitable for all ages."
