Comments

Marc-Antoine Millotet, first Advocate General at the Parliament, was elected mayor on June 21, 1650. His election was overturned, and Bourrelier was elected. On June 21, 1651, they wanted to re-elect him, but he was asked by the Duc d'Épernon, then governor, not to accept, so he appointed François Malateste as his successor. Millotet was finally re-elected in 1652 - 1653 and again in 1653 - 1654.

He bore azure a saltire Or, in chief a shortened cross argent.

In the hall of the former town hall, an inscription celebrates M.-A. Millotet's activity: "Marc-Antoine Millotet, mayor, by his courageous firmness, maintained, in 1648, in Dijon, the King's authority during the Fronde wars".Automatically translated
