The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice du 12e siècle contigü primitivement du côté sud à la collégiale par une porte située entre deux chapelles absidiales, il formait un des côtés du cloître qu'un passage voûté au 16e siècle faisait communiquer directement avec la rue. Ce bâtiment a servi de salle ou chapelle capitulaire. Cette chapelle a été utilisée au cours des âges par les confréries des Pénitents et de manecanterie. Le bâtiment a également été utilisé, après la disparition des confréries, comme tribunal de commerce et mutilé sur sa face méridionale par l'architecte Mallay. Peintures murales.

Building of the 12th century originally contiguous on the south side to the collegiate church by a door situated between two apsidal chapels, it formed one of the sides of the cloister which a vaulted passage in the 16th century made communicate directly with the street. This building served as a chapter hall or chapel. This chapel was used in the course of centuries by the confraternities of the Penitents and of the boys' choir. The building was also used, after the disappearance of the confraternities, as a commercial court and mutilated on its southern face by the architect Mallay. Mural paintings.
