Hôtel de la Croix d’Or

Numbers 32 to 36 of today's rue de la Monnaie were built by Nicolas Riglet after the great fire of 1524.

The handsome 16th-century facade, with its alternating brick and chalk checkerwork, frames a carriage entrance.
Its first-floor wrought-iron balconies date from the 18th c. Following the long corridor to the rear, you come to no. 34: this is the Le Febvre mansion, rebuilt in the 18th century. From 1888 to 1985, these buildings housed a press group and its printing works, "Le Petit Républicain", which became La Tribune de l'Aube and, more recently, L'Est-Éclair. The complex was restored between 1992 and 1994 and converted into apartments.
