The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
A l'angle de la maison, dans une niche, statue de Saint-Jean-Baptiste qui commémore ici le souvenir de l'antique baptistère Saint-Jean tout proche. Cette maison était sans doute celle du prieur-cure de Saint-Jean. L'oeuvre présente le Précurseur avec ses attributs traditionnels, et se trouve dans une niche ornée d'un encadrement de feuillages qui retombent en tresses. Au-dessus de la niche se lit la date 1722.

History
At the corner of the house, in a niche, statue of Saint John the Baptist which commemorates here the memory of the ancient baptistery of Saint-Jean nearby. This house was no doubt that of the prior-curate of Saint-Jean. The work presents the Precursor with his traditional attributes, and is found in a niche decorated with a frame of foliage falling in braids. Above the niche is read the date 1722.
