District : Marais / Les Halles
Current events
Exhibition: "Les Grands Ducs de Bourgogne" until November 11th, 2009
Informations :
The Jean-sans-Peur tower was part of the Hôtel de Bourgogne (palace of the Dukes of Burgundy) and was built between 1409 and 1412. This listed monument now reveals its secrets for the first time, in particular:
- the spiral staircase probably inspired by that of the Louvre
- the magnificent vaulted stairwell with its unique plant decor (oak, hop, hawthorn)
- the Room of Jean-sans-Peur where he may have taken refuge in times of trouble.
The museum situates the tower in the context of its time (daily life in a ducal palace, medieval architecture, chaos of the Hundred Years War) and through the evocation of other medieval buildings still visible in the capital, outlines a tour of civilian and military Paris of the Middle Ages.
