The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le Puits Sauvage, vestige d'une ancienne seigneurie, a été entièrement aménagé au milieu du 18e siècle par une famille d'armateurs malouins descendante de Jacques Cartier. L'ensemble de l'architecture est représentatif d'une série de malouinières modestes (austérité et symétrie des façades, etc.) , mais la conception d'ensemble en fait un exemple atypique et original : disposition des bâtiments autour d'une cour carrée, pignon en bordure du chemin et dispositions intérieures du logis (notamment existence de deux escaliers situés dans les ailes). Si l'on peut regretter la disparition de certains éléments (buanderie, pavillons de jardinier, cheminée du pignon est du logis, dessin du jardin) , due aux bombardements, l'ensemble n'en demeure pas moins proche de ce qu'il était lors de sa construction et a conservé une certaine authenticité intérieure.

Le Puits Sauvage, a vestige of an ancient lordship, was entirely developed in the middle of the 18th century by a family of shipowners from Saint-Malo descended from Jacques Cartier. The entirety of the architecture is representative of a series of modest malouinières (austerity and symmetry of facades, etc.), but the overall design makes it an atypical and original example: arrangement of buildings around a square courtyard, gable bordering the path and interior arrangements of the main dwelling (namely the existence of two staircases located in the wings). While one may regret the disappearance of certain elements (laundry room, gardener's pavilions, chimney of the east gable of the main dwelling, garden design), due to bombardments, the whole remains nevertheless close to what it was at the time of its construction and has retained a certain interior authenticity.
