Historique
Hôtel reconstruit au 18e siècle à la place d'un édifice du 15e dont subsistent les caves voûtées en berceau plein cintre et le pignon occidental, gardant dans son parement de nombreuses traces de projectiles, dues aux guerres de Religion du 16e siècle. L'hôtel actuel est composé de deux ailes perpendiculaires, élevées l'une au nord, l'autre à l'ouest de la cour d'entrée. L'intérieur conserve un escalier avec une rampe en fer forgé.

History
Hotel rebuilt in the 18th century in place of a 15th-century building of which the barrel-vaulted cellars with round arch and the western gable remain, retaining in its facing numerous traces of projectiles, due to the Wars of Religion of the 16th century. The present hotel is composed of two perpendicular wings, one raised to the north, the other to the west of the entrance courtyard. The interior preserves a staircase with a wrought iron handrail.
