Maison des Consuls, Medieval house in Mirepoix, France

The Maison des Consuls stands at the center of Mirepoix with wooden beams and 104 carved figures adorning its support pillars and beam ends.

Following a devastating flood of the Hers River in 1289, Guy III de Lévis granted land to residents for building a new town including this structure.

The building displays medieval craftsmanship through its detailed sculptures depicting human faces, animals, and daily life scenes on its wooden elements.

The building now functions as a four-star hotel with seven rooms, each dedicated to a different historical figure from the town's past.

The hotel's lounge features a 2020 mural painting depicting Mirepoix as it appeared in the 18th century, created by artist Chloé Préteceille.
