Maison Milsan, Renaissance mansion on Forges Street in Dijon, France

The facade of Maison Maillard displays intricate carvings including fruit garlands, lion heads, and trophies spread across three distinct levels.

Jean Maillard, mayor of Dijon in 1560, commissioned this residence in 1561 with architect Hugues Sambin contributing to the upper facade design.

The sculptural elements of the facade and inner courtyard demonstrate the Renaissance architectural principles prevalent in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region.

The ground floor of the building, located at 38 Forges Street, now houses a retail store that visitors can access during business hours.

The rear courtyard facade maintains its original staircase and 16th-century carved elements rarely found in other Dijon residences.
