History

House of the 15th century of which three facades on the interior courtyard present decoration in flamboyant style. The framing of one of the windows is moulded with a torus set apart by cavetto mouldings and resting on prismatic bases. On either side of the mullions rise triangular pilasters interrupted at two-thirds of their height by a drip moulding projecting above two trefoiled arches. Above the lintel, a drip moulding cord, rounded at its extremities, joins these pilasters on either side, which continue upwards. The second window possesses the same decoration. The lintels of these two windows are surmounted by a panel sculpted in bas-relief within a frame of mouldings formed by the pilasters on the sides and by the supporting cornice of the upper storey at the upper part. A second facade presents, on the part comprised between a window and the door, two sculpted shields each of which is placed at the centre of a quatrefoil, each lobe of which inscribes a trefoiled arch. A third facade also presents interesting sculpted elements. Following this part constructed in stone extends, at the storey level, a gallery whose structure is timber framing, supported on a sill decorated at its upper part with a moulded cornice.
