The Hôtel Dumay features a sharp, narrow Renaissance tower that rises above the street, a signal of the wealth merchant Jean Dumay acquired from the woad trade. He built this residence in fifteen eighty-nine during the peak of Toulouse’s golden age of blue dye. Dumay wanted to display his status through the intricate stonework and the commanding height of his private quarters. While families once debated the legality of his fortune, the tower remains a stubborn anchor in the medieval heart of the city.
