Hôtel Aubriot, Medieval private mansion in Dijon, France

Hôtel Aubriot is a 13th-century private mansion at 40 rue des Forges in Dijon, adjoining the Maison Maillard, with a roof of glazed Burgundy tiles. Its upper facade, from the first half of the 13th century, has four paired round-arched arcades on slender columns, each holding two windows, with blind arcades at both ends. Below, two openings lead into a vaulted cellar whose ribs rest on octagonal piers dividing it into three naves of eight bays.

Construction of the mansion began in the early 13th century as Dijon's urban development expanded. The building underwent major renovation in the 18th century to meet contemporary needs.

The cellar served medieval money changers as a meeting place where they conducted their business and gave the space its name. This function shows how important the location was to the city's commercial life.

The mansion is located in the city center on Rue des Forges and is easy to reach on foot. Since it is a protected monument, access to the interior may be restricted depending on current regulations.

The four paired arcades on the upper floor date from the first half of the 13th century, not the 16th; each round arch shelters two windows, and blind arcades close both ends. The two stone dormers with carved terms above them were the 16th-century addition. The facade was chiselled flat in 1800 and rebuilt in 1908 by architect Louis Perreau and sculptor Xavier Schanosky, guided by an 18th-century engraving after a drawing by Jean-Baptiste Lallemand.
