The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le rez-de-chaussée et le deuxième étage ont conservé en partie leurs anciennes dispositions. Le premier étage a été mutilé mais conserve des traces de l'ordonnance primitive qui était semblable à celle du deuxième étage. Les chapiteaux des colonnettes sont très ornés (feuillage, figures humaines, bestiaire). Quatre ogives ouvrent le rez-de-chaussée, l'une donnant accès à la cour intérieure. Cet édifice a conservé l'architecture méridionale typique de cette époque. L'intérieur de la salle du premier étage conserve des fresques à dessin géométrique du 14e siècle.

The ground floor and the second storey have partly retained their former arrangements. The first storey has been damaged but retains traces of the original layout which was similar to that of the second storey. The capitals of the small columns are highly ornate (foliage, human figures, bestiary). Four pointed arches open the ground floor, one giving access to the interior courtyard. This building has retained the southern architecture typical of this period. The interior of the first-storey room retains frescoes with geometric design from the 14th century.
