The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Hôtel de la fin du 15e début 16e siècle, qui était l'une des plus grandes demeures particulières de la ville, avec un corps de logis flanqué d'une tour et un vaste jardin enclos et ordonné de parterres. Du 15e siècle subsiste la tourelle d'escalier en vis et un petit oratoire situé à l'étage du corps de logis. En 1801, l'hôtel fut vendu à la ville qui le transforma en palais épiscopal, fonction qu'il conserva jusqu'en 1847. £L'hôtel a conservé sa structure originelle : un vaste corps de bâtiment flanqué à l'est par une tourelle d'escalier. Son entrée principale donne toujours dans une cour. Au nord, par contre, le grand jardin clos a été loti. Les percements actuels remontent aux 18e et 19e siècles.

Hotel from the late 15th early 16th century, which was one of the largest private residences in the city, with a main dwelling flanked by a tower and a vast enclosed garden laid out with parterres. From the 15th century remains the spiral staircase turret and a small oratory situated on the floor of the main dwelling. In 1801, the hotel was sold to the city which transformed it into an episcopal palace, a function it retained until 1847. The hotel has preserved its original structure: a vast building flanked to the east by a spiral staircase turret. Its main entrance still opens into a courtyard. To the north, however, the large enclosed garden was subdivided. The current openings date from the 18th and 19th centuries.
