The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Construction de trois étages portant la date de 1714 au-dessus de la porte d'entrée. La façade en est restée intacte, avec les fenêtres à petits carreaux et le soubassement de trois marches en granit. Dans le passage, un plancher mobile permettait de descendre des tonneaux à la cave par un palan fixé à une potence en fer. L'hôtel comportait d'importantes dépendances : auberge, écuries, remises. Durant la Révolution, il hébergea les membres de la Conjuration dite la Rouërie. L'hôtelier Henry y fut arrêté avec d'autres assurant le courrier des princes, entre Saint-Malo, Jersey et l'Angleterre.

History
Three-storey building bearing the date 1714 above the entrance door. The façade remained intact, with small-pane windows and a granite plinth of three steps. In the passage, a movable floor allowed barrels to be lowered into the cellar by a pulley fixed to an iron gallows. The hotel had significant outbuildings: an inn, stables, sheds. During the Revolution, it housed members of the conspiracy known as the Rouërie. The innkeeper Henry was arrested there with others who ensured the mail of the princes, between Saint-Malo, Jersey and England.
