The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'hôtel a été édifié à la demande de Jean-Baptiste Veillet-Dufrêne qui dirigeait un important comptoir de ventes de toiles. L'aspect général du bâtiment, avec ses hautes cheminées, rappelle les malouinières. Les pièces sont ornées de boiseries réalisées à l'époque de la construction par des artisans ébénistes locaux. Ces boiseries intérieures témoignent de l'opulence régionale au 18e siècle.

History
The hotel was built at the request of Jean-Baptiste Veillet-Dufrêne who directed an important sales depot for cloth. The general appearance of the building, with its high chimneys, recalls the malouinières. The rooms are ornamented with wainscoting executed at the time of construction by local cabinet-making artisans. These interior wainscotings testify to regional opulence in the 18th century.
