The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
"Maisons-types, seules subsistantes dans leur forme originale. Ces maisons sont appelées "maisons de moines" car elles appartenaient aux moines bénédictins du Mas d'Azil. La partie basse des façades n'a pas trop été remaniée dans sa forme. Les façades présentent deux étages percés chacun de deux fenêtres. Pans de bois à croisillons, poutres apparentes, embouts de poutres sculptés."

History
Model houses, the only ones still surviving in their original form. These houses are called "monks' houses" because they belonged to the Benedictine monks of Mas d'Azil. The lower part of the facades has not been too altered in its form. The facades present two storeys each pierced by two windows. Timber framing with cross-bracing, exposed beams, carved beam ends.
