Hôtel de Vogüé, Renaissance private mansion in Dijon, France

Hôtel de Vogüé is a 17th-century private mansion at 8 rue de la Chouette in Dijon, built on three houses bought by the Bouhier family in 1589, 1615 and 1617. Its courtyard plan sets a main block facing an Italian-style portico, flanked by two wings forming pavilions. The entrance arcades carry half-reclining Renommées in the spandrels, columns wrapped with ivy, and the monogram E.B.M.G. carved on their bases. The roofs are covered with glazed Burgundian tiles in a mosaic pattern.

Jean Bouhier, a parliamentary councillor, bought the first house in 1589; his son Étienne added two more in 1615 and 1617. The date 1614 on the guard-room fireplace marks the right front wing as the initial core, not the completion. In 1766 Catherine Bouhier de Versalieu married Count Cerice-François Melchior de Vogüé, bringing the mansion to that family.

The guard room fireplace carries a painting of Hero and Leander, and caryatids frame its jambs. On the portico columns, ivy tendrils are carved, and the column bases bear the monogram E.B.M.G., commemorating Étienne Bouhier's second marriage to Madeleine Giroud on 25 April 1615.

The mansion stands at 8 rue de la Chouette, near the chevet of Notre-Dame church. It now houses the human resources department of the City of Dijon, so the courtyard and interior are working offices rather than a museum open to visitors. The 1717 portal on the left was pierced to let carriages reach the garden stables.

The left portal was cut through in 1717 so carriages could reach the garden, where stables had been built. On the column bases of the entrance portico, the monogram E.B.M.G. records Étienne Bouhier's second marriage, on 25 April 1615, to Madeleine Giroud.
