Maison Millière, Gothic private mansion in historic center, Dijon, France.
Maison Millière is a late medieval private residence featuring timber framing across multiple stories in Dijon's historic center. The ground floor contains a restaurant and shop, while upper levels include residential spaces and an interior courtyard for dining.
Guillaume Millière, a merchant, and his wife Guillemette Durand commissioned the house in 1483 during the late Gothic period. Its construction reflects the prosperity of Dijon and the region's commercial importance at that time.
The residence draws visitors interested in cinema history, as it appeared in a famous film production during the 1980s. Its position next to the cathedral and within the old town makes it a reference point for people exploring the historic center.
The house sits on Rue de la Chouette in the historic core and is easily reached on foot. It operates as a restaurant and tea room, so visitors should confirm whether tours of the building itself are available or if only the business areas are accessible.
An interior garden with mature plants and trees creates a hidden green retreat completely shielded from street noise. This courtyard has been part of daily life within the house for centuries and remains in use by restaurant guests today.
