The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice du 16e siècle dont le principal intérêt réside dans les allèges sculptées aux fenêtres et galerie du deuxième étage. La pierre est sculptée en forme de cartouche très allongé et mouluré en forme de faisceaux cannelés à volutes. Deux panneaux séparés par un pilastre cannelé représentent un écusson oval sur cuir héraldique, encadrés de rinceaux de feuilles et mascarons. L'un porte un renard surmonté de trois étoiles et un croissant ; l'autre une foi aux mains accolées. L'immeuble présente la disposition habituelle d'une tourelle d'escalier au centre de deux corps de bâtiments reliés à elle par une galerie sous ogives aux divers étages.

Building of the 16th century whose principal interest lies in the sculpted spandrels at the windows and gallery of the second floor. The stone is carved in the form of a very elongated cartouche and moulded in the form of fluted fasces with volutes. Two panels separated by a fluted pilaster represent an oval escutcheon on heraldic leather, framed by scrolls of leaves and mascarons. One bears a fox surmounted by three stars and a crescent; the other a faith with joined hands. The building presents the usual arrangement of a staircase turret at the centre of two building sections connected to it by a gallery with rib vaults at the various storeys.
