Hôtel Groslot

TIME : 2016/2/18 17:51:56

The Renaissance Hôtel Groslot was built in the 15th century as a private mansion for Jacques Groslot, a city bailiff, and later used as Orléans’ town hall during the Revolution. The neomedieval interior, with some original furnishings, is extravagant, especially the ornate bedroom in which 16-year-old King François II died in 1560 (now used for marriages). Its rear gardens are lovely.
