The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Bon exemple de maison à pans de bois de la région de Loches, l'une des seules de ce genre ayant subsisté à l'incendie qui, lors de la guerre de Cent ans, détruisit la plus grande partie de la ville. La maison, d'un étage sur rez-de-chaussée, a trois faces en pierre de taille. Les ouvertures du rez-de-chaussée remontent au 18e siècle. Celle du premier étage présente des meneaux de bois. Le pignon à pans de bois a été rempli postérieurement de pierre de Bourré.

History
Fine example of a timber-framed house in the Loches region, one of the few of this type to have survived the fire which, during the Hundred Years' War, destroyed the greater part of the town. The house, of one storey above ground floor, has three faces in ashlar. The openings of the ground floor date back to the 18th century. Those of the first floor present wooden mullions. The timber-framed gable was later filled with Bourré stone.
