The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette maison fut une dépendance du monastère et occupe l'angle sud-ouest du préau du cloître que l'église abbatiale limitait au nord. Les angles sud-ouest et sud-est sont occupés par une tourelle carrée. Sur la façade nord s'appuie le mur pignon d'un bâtiment plus récent, formant aile en retour. Au mur pignon Est est appuyé un bâtiment dont le mur nord est contemporain du logis. Dans l'angle formé par ce mur et le logis, est montée une courte tourelle supportée par une trompe. L'accès au jardin se fait par une porte du 18e siècle.

This house was a dependency of the monastery and occupies the south-west corner of the courtyard of the cloister which the abbey church bounded to the north. The south-west and south-east corners are occupied by a square turret. On the north facade rests the gable wall of a more recent building, forming a return wing. On the East gable wall rests a building whose north wall is contemporary with the main dwelling. In the angle formed by this wall and the dwelling, is mounted a short turret supported by a squinch. Access to the garden is by an 18th-century door.
