The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La façade de cette maison présente des baies du 12e et du 15e siècle, ainsi que l'encadrement de la porte d'entrée qui date de cette dernière époque. La baie géminée du 12e siècle est constituée par deux arcatures plein cintre supportées à leur retombée centrale par une colonne engagée avec chapiteau. Cette fenêtre serait le seul élément d'architecture civile du 12e siècle conservé dans la ville.

The façade of this house presents openings from the 12th and 15th centuries, as well as the framing of the entrance door which dates from this latter period. The twin opening of the 12th century is constituted by two round-arch arcatures supported at their central springing by an engaged column with capital. This window would be the only element of 12th-century civil architecture preserved in the town.
