The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Les lucarnes en pierre à fronton mouluré surmonté de petits pinacles, attestent la fin de la Renaissance et la corniche moulurée le début de l'époque classique. La couverture principale en tuiles plates est représentative du mode de couvrement des pigeonniers ou des tourelles dans le département, ainsi que le campanile ou flèche terminant le couvrement. Entre ces deux éléments de couverture se trouve l'entrée des pigeons.

History
The stone dormers with moulded gable surmounted by small pinnacles attest to the end of the Renaissance and the moulded cornice to the beginning of the classical period. The main roof covering in flat tiles is representative of the method of covering dovecotes or turrets in the department, as is the bell turret or spire terminating the roof covering. Between these two roofing elements is found the entrance for the pigeons.
