Over de locatie

Hôtel Thomas ou Grasset - Maison de Rhénanie-Palatinat

29 rue Buffon, 21000 Dijon

Côte-d'Or

Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

By the portal(gate) of 29, street Buffon, opened on the courtyard, a delightful door of style Louis XV in a hotel built from 1760 by Charles Thomas d' Island is seen. In 1820, André Grasset acquires the house of Henry Thomas de Lavesvre. His(Her) son Ernest Grasset, to advise(recommend) to the royal court of Dijon, is going to live in him(her) and extends him of the nearby building of 31 and of a garden. Ernest Grasset marries Ester Monnier in 1827, related to the ironmasters Jobez who had just built the famous palladian villa of Syam in Swore him. Esther Grasset remarries Eugénie Poiré in 1836\. It is a deeply rich man, possessing several domains and Castles, in Marandeuil, Charms, Bagnot and Montmuzard, that he inherited from Margaret Anthony, the second wife of his father, and that he is going to provide from 1867, the municipality not wishing to acquire him. According to Eugene Fyot, after his election as President of the Court of Appeal, he makes cut, in 1865, by the sculptor Frederick Creusot, a composition in high relief above the portal(gate) of his hotel. This rather spectacular composition stages two winged geniuses(engineerings) taken(brought) out of girdles of foliage in abundant one plant decoration(set). These delightful naked kids support the presidential stoat to drape an oval medallion surrounded with oak-leaves and with laurel topped with a crown. This cartouche is finely sculpted initials EG interlaced by the sponsor(sleeping partner) and a mask prevails which emerges from branches and from palms(flippers). In obvious fact, the high-flown set(group) suggests us, according to an expression in fashion, a president "removed inhibitions, in the oversize égo", that is to say immodest and aware(conscious) of the importance of its function(office), who confided(entrusted) to the sculptor the celebration of his success. Unless the sculptor, who will realise for himself the extravagant(eccentric) facade of 62, street of Longvic, proposes his aesthetic choices(selections). One of his(her) children sells the hotel in 1913 to the solicitor Henry Baut. Today, a badge on wooden transom, marked "Bundesrepublik Deutschland - Honorarkonsul", indicates us, among the tenants of the building, the house of Rhineland-Palatinate and the consulate of Germany.
