The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La partie la plus intéressante de cette maison du 16e siècle, est le couronnement de la façade : fronton en forme de triangle aplati flanqué de trois pinacles surmontés de boules. Sur ce fronton, Jean Savaron a fait placer l'anagramme de son nom. De chaque côté de cette inscription, sur les pinacles latéraux, se trouvent les initiales de François et Jean Savaron. Au titre architectural, cette maison est intéressante car elle représente les premières compositions ordonnancées de façades du début du 17e siècle.

History
The most interesting part of this 16th century house is the crowning of the façade: a gable in the form of a flattened triangle flanked by three pinnacles surmounted by balls. On this gable, Jean Savaron had placed an anagram of his name. On each side of this inscription, on the lateral pinnacles, are found the initials of François and Jean Savaron. From an architectural standpoint, this house is interesting because it represents the first ordered compositions of façades of the early 17th century.
