The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cet hôtel a primitivement appartenu aux Pelorde, puis aux Bengy et enfin aux Gassot de la Vienne, qui y firent construire le portail en 1749. Le portail de l'hôtel Gassot de la Vienne, qui était situé rue Jacques-Coeur et aujourd'hui détruit, avait été remonté au 19e siècle au 3, place Rabelais. En 1975, il fut démonté et ses pierres furent entreposées à l'hôtel de Bourbon, puis transportées au dépôt de la ville de Bourges (à Asnières) , lors de la rénovation de l'hôtel de Bourbon en 1990.

This hotel originally belonged to the Pelorde, then to the Bengy and finally to the Gassot de la Vienne, who had the portal built there in 1749. The portal of the hôtel Gassot de la Vienne, which was situated on rue Jacques-Coeur and is now destroyed, had been reassembled in the 19th century at 3, place Rabelais. In 1975, it was dismantled and its stones were stored at the hôtel de Bourbon, then transported to the city depot of Bourges (at Asnières), during the renovation of the hôtel de Bourbon in 1990.
