The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La porte de cet immeuble est l'un des plus parfaits exemples qui se puissent trouver de l'art des charpentiers et des huchiers du Moyen Age. L'encadrement à nervures prismatiques s'orne de consoles à chapiteaux de feuillages sur lesquels porte la sablière. Dans la partie supérieure de l'encadrement, une accolade surmonte l'huis et se développe dans l'imposte.

History
The door of this building is one of the most perfect examples to be found of the art of carpenters and joiners of the Middle Ages. The frame with prismatic ribs is ornamented with consoles bearing capitals of foliage on which rests the wall plate. In the upper part of the frame, an ogee surmounts the door and develops into the transom.
