Our story

Our hotel, a historic site

Standing against the old rampart of the Castrum and perched on the Châtel ascent, the former Montaulbain hotel, owned by Simon du Châtel, was purchased in 1388 by the City magistrates to be made into the Municipal House.

The town hall housed the municipal bell that was used for alarms; the city's cannons were melted down in the clock room. The town hall's cellars were used as the municipal prison. In 1680, Louis XIV installed the first «French» chief alderman in the town hall.

In 1738, the Municipality abandoned the Hôtel de Montaulbain to move into the Hôtel de Japin, the current town hall. Nowadays, the old gaols remain beneath the new hotel.

This house was converted into a hotel as we knew it in 1960.
