Les hôtels parisiens du xv e siècle vus par Guillebert de Mets

Guillebert de Mets is a fascinating Flemish figure of the end of the Middle Ages: in the service of the dukes of Burgundy, he was a scribe, a collector, an amateur of arts, a diplomat and a reader of literature and treatises of his time, particularly those proceeding from the French first humanists, like Laurent de Premierfait. He staid in Paris, visiting the city and he was particularly interested in the rich hotels of princes and some rich people. After the presentation of Guillebert, this paper is devoted to analyse how he considers these buildings as a ‘bourgeois lige’ of the duke of Burgundy
