The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Hospice construit entre 1750 et 1760 par l'architecte local Antoine d'Allemand, sous la maîtrise d'ouvrage de Monseigneur d'Inguimbert, grand mécène dans l'esprit du siècle des lumières. Les bâtiments s'ordonnent autour d'une cour carrée : rez-de-chaussée, étage et attique. Dans l'aile ouest, la chapelle abrite le tombeau de Mgr d'Inguimbert. L'apothicairerie a conservé son décor initial de paysages en camaïeu de S. Duplessis et de Peyrotte et ses chevrettes de Moustiers et de Montpellier (pots en faïence des 16e et 17e siècle). La façade est surmontée de six pots à feu de près de quatre mètres de hauteur.

Hospice built between 1750 and 1760 by the local architect Antoine d'Allemand, under the patronage of Monseigneur d'Inguimbert, great patron in the spirit of the age of enlightenment. The buildings are arranged around a square courtyard: ground floor, storey and attic. In the western wing, the chapel houses the tomb of Mgr d'Inguimbert. The apothecary's shop has retained its original decoration of monochrome landscapes by S. Duplessis and Peyrotte and its Moustiers and Montpellier pottery shelves (earthenware pots of the 16th and 17th centuries). The facade is surmounted by six roof finials nearly four metres in height.
