The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'hôtel a été construit au 15e siècle et a été considéré à tort comme l'hôtel de Jean de Xaincoings, trésorier des finances de Charles VII. On date le remaniement exceptionnel de sa façade antérieure vers 1610 par l'ajout d'un corps central hors-oeuvre avec porche et loggia et un corps latéral à gauche. L'hôtel a appartenu au marchand René Gardette au milieu du 16e siècle. Il est passé en 1738 aux mains de la famille Gouin, qui lui a donné son nom définitif. Cet ensemble a subi de nombreuses restaurations qui ont altéré son aspect d'origine.

History
The hotel was built in the 15th century and was wrongly considered to be the hotel of Jean de Xaincoings, treasurer of finances of Charles VII. The exceptional alteration of its front facade is dated around 1610 by the addition of a central projecting body with porch and loggia and a lateral body to the left. The hotel belonged to the merchant René Gardette in the middle of the 16th century. It passed in 1738 into the hands of the Gouin family, who gave it its definitive name. This ensemble has undergone numerous restorations which have altered its original appearance.
