The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'hôtel fut construit au 15e ou début 16e siècle sur des bases plus anciennes dont quelques traces sont conservées. Sur la rue, au niveau du premier étage, un mur est surmonté d'un balcon sur toute sa longueur, limité par une rampe en fer forgé. Dans la cour d'honneur se trouve un bâtiment en retour d'équerre dont les deux corps sont soudés par une tour d'escalier polygonale, sur laquelle se greffe une tourelle ronde en encorbellement. Dans un coin de la cour se trouve un puits Renaissance dont six colonnes carrées supportent un entablement sur lequel repose une toiture en forme de calotte.

The hotel was built in the 15th or early 16th century on older bases of which some traces are preserved. On the street, at first-floor level, a wall is topped by a balcony along its entire length, limited by a wrought-iron railing. In the courtyard of honour stands a building in return forming a right angle, whose two sections are joined by a polygonal staircase tower, to which is grafted a round turret in corbels. In a corner of the courtyard stands a Renaissance well whose six square columns support an entablature on which rests a roof in the form of a cupola.
