The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Avant la Révolution, les Carmélites occupaient le bâtiment. Après 1789, elles achetèrent une maison à laquelle elles annexèrent d'autres bâtiments, dont les deux galeries du cloître et la chapelle. L'édifice n'a subi aucune modification depuis. L'ancienne chapelle a simplement vu son plafond ancien masqué par un plafond moderne.

History
Before the Revolution, the Carmelites occupied the building. After 1789, they purchased a house to which they annexed other buildings, including the two galleries of the cloister and the chapel. The building has undergone no modification since. The former chapel simply had its old ceiling masked by a modern ceiling.
