The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cet immeuble fait partie du second accroissement de la ville de Saint-Malo, entre 1716 et 1725. A cet endroit s'élevèrent les édifices où résidèrent les navigateurs et armateurs malouins. La plupart des maisons furent bâties sur les dessins de l'ingénieur Garangeau. L'hôtel au n°1 présente une façade en granit appareillé, coiffée de hautes toitures d'ardoises surmontées de massives souches de cheminées. Il appartint d'abord à la famille de Beaugeard. Robert Surcouf acheta l'hôtel et l'habita longtemps. L'une des têtes de cheminée de l'hôtel est ornée d'un petit cadran solaire qu'il aurait fabriqué.

This building forms part of the second expansion of the town of Saint-Malo, between 1716 and 1725. At this location stood the buildings where Saint-Malo navigators and ship-owners resided. Most of the houses were built on the designs of engineer Garangeau. The hotel at no. 1 presents a façade of ashlar granite, topped with high slate roofs surmounted by massive chimney stacks. It first belonged to the Beaugeard family. Robert Surcouf purchased the hotel and lived there for a long time. One of the chimney heads of the hotel is decorated with a small sundial which he is said to have made.
