History
Building of the early 19th century presenting grille and balcony in Directoire style, and small balconies in Louis XV style. The storefront of the café has completely disappeared to make way for a modern storefront. The former café room was ornamented with a set of finely sculpted wainscoting in low relief, with Corinthian columns supporting voussures whose impost blocks and spandrels are filled with stucco decoration of general inspiration or relating to the seasons.
