The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 1905, l'édifice du 17e siècle a été démoli pour permettre l'élargissement de la montée des Pélerins. Il n'en restait plus que la porte ainsi qu'une clé de voûte écussonnée sous croisée d'ogives qui existait encore en 1930 mais semble avoir disparu. Un mascaron marque le centre de la porte, assez proche des sculptures aixoises du 17e siècle. Il dut y avoir, à cette époque, toute une école au Puy pour développer ce travail languedocien, presque catalan. Des bossages simples supportent un fronton à jour sous un arc de cercle.

In 1905, the 17th-century building was demolished to allow the widening of the Montée des Pèlerins. Only the doorway remained, as well as an escutcheoned key of a rib vault under crossing which still existed in 1930 but appears to have disappeared. A mascaroon marks the centre of the door, fairly close to 17th-century Aix sculptures. There must have been, at this time, a whole school at Le Puy for developing this Languedocian, almost Catalan work. Simple rustication supports an open pediment under a circular arch.
