The mansion grumbled

Hotel Groslot, Hôtel Groslot
France, Orleans
The mansion grumbled in Orleans - this is an elegant mansion of the 16th century, striking in its Renaissance architecture. Built for a rich local official Jacques Grozo, he later became a city town hall.
During his history, Hôtel Groslot received many noble guests, including the French kings of Charles IX, Henry III and Henry IV. Here, King Francis II died tragically here in 1560.

This mansion was built in 1530-1549 by order of Jacques Call, which was a senior nobleman in Orleans. After the death of King Francis II, the house for unknown reasons was owned by the authorities, and in the XVIII century the bodies of city government were placed in it. The building was reconstructed and attached, and in 1840. Opposite the entrance, a sculpture depicting Jeanne d’Arc, one of the main personalities in the history of Orleans and France, was installed. From 1790 to 1982. The city hall was located here, which is now in the building opposite.
