The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La porte, avec sa herse remontée, s'ouvre dans le rempart qui, du côté Est, défendait la ville où la famille d'Estaing possédait un château sans doute adossé à la courtine. Les armes de cette famille sont sculptées sur l'écusson placé au-dessus de la porte, surmonté d'une rose.

The door, with its raised portcullis, opens in the rampart which, on the East side, defended the town where the d'Estaing family owned a castle no doubt set against the curtain wall. The arms of this family are sculpted on the escutcheon placed above the door, surmounted by a rose.
