    Tips

    Built between 1490 and 1510, the Maison de Bois is undoubtedly the oldest house in Macon, and most certainly the most famous. Its façade, entirely built of wood, is decorated with a multitude of statues, often of a greedy inspiration. Characters with masks of men and monkeys more or less grimacing, they are standing, sitting, winged, naked or sometimes dressed only in a scarf or a cap. Some, with their outstretched arms, alternately hold the head and tail of a fantastic animal to the real. The Maison de Bois was compared, by the Goncourt brothers, to a gigantic wooden chest that the Mâconnais should only look at as a glimpse, because of the colorful sculptures that adorn its walls. macon-tourism.com/uk/visit-macon/289/Maison-de-Bois
