The Archevêché de Sens is a historic building located in the city of Sens in the Yonne department of France. This building, which dates back to the Middle Ages, was once the home of the Archbishops of Sens and is now a museum dedicated to the Métiers d'Arts, or decorative arts.
The Archevêché de Sens is best known for its association with the famous French queen, Marguerite de Valois, also known as Queen Margot. It was in this building that Marguerite de Valois married King Henri IV in 1572, a union that was later immortalized in the novel "La Reine Margot" by Alexandre Dumas.
In 1961, the Archevêché de Sens was converted into a library, known as the Bibliothèque Civile du Moyen Âge. This specialized library, which is now known as the Bibliothèque Forney, is dedicated to the study of the Middle Ages and is home to a collection of rare books and manuscripts.
The Archevêché de Sens is located on the Rue du Figuier, near the Hôtel de Sens and the Hôtel des Archevêques. This historic building is a popular tourist attraction in Sens and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and decorative arts of the city. It is also located near the Rue Saint-Antoine and the famous Boulet de Canon, a cannonball embedded in the wall of a building, which serves as a reminder of the city's tumultuous past.
