The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cet important édifice conventuel du 17e siècle a conservé l'essentiel de son caractère malgré son affectation comme collège. Les bâtiments conventuels comprenant un étage et un niveau sous combles sont édifiés autour d'une cour centrale formant cloître. Ils sont cantonnés à leurs extrémités de pavillons d'angles. L'architecture est sobre et rythmée de lucarnes à frontons alternativement triangulaires et courbes.

History
This substantial conventional building of the 17th century has retained the essence of its character despite its use as a college. The conventional buildings comprising one storey and a level in the roof space are built around a central courtyard forming a cloister. They are flanked at their ends by corner pavilions. The architecture is sober and rhythmed by dormers with alternately triangular and curved pediments.
