History

House erected in the 13th century in Romanesque style, substantially altered in the 18th. Work carried out in 1976 made it possible to reveal the Romanesque arcading hidden beneath render. The building comprises a ground floor over cellars with broken barrel vaults, a first floor with arcading in Romanesque style, second and third floors from the 18th century, and a small attic storey topped with a terrace and recent raising. The ground floor is pierced by two flattened round arches and a door with a wooden lintel opening onto a covered passage. The first floor offers a row of three round arches whose intrados of the voussoirs is underlined by a torus and a listel, and whose extrados was razed in the 18th century to allow the piercing of rectangular windows. These arches rest on colonnettes in vertical orientation, originally placed on a projecting bearing cornice. Each colonnette has an Attic base, a very pronounced astragale, and a composite capital with foliage and volutes. On the first and second floors, windows display fine ironwork from the 18th century.
