The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cet escalier est placé dans l'angle nord-ouest d'une petite cour qui fut celle de l'ancienne hôtellerie à l'enseigne du Panier Fleury, comme l'indique encore sur la façade de l'immeuble, un panier rempli de fleurs sculpté sur la muraille. Il est appuyé à deux façades dont celle du nord est plus ancienne, datant du 15e siècle. L'escalier hélicoïdal, avec palier à chaque étage, est garni de balustres moulurés. Un étroit passage circulant sous la travée inférieure, relie la cour au couloir conduisant à la rue, et permet l'écoulement des eaux évacuées par le caniveau de cette cour.

This staircase is placed in the north-west angle of a small courtyard which was that of the former inn with the sign of the Panier Fleury, as is still indicated on the facade of the building by a basket filled with flowers sculpted on the wall. It leans against two facades of which that of the north is older, dating from the 15th century. The helical staircase, with landing at each storey, is furnished with moulded balusters. A narrow passage circulating under the lower bay connects the courtyard to the corridor leading to the street, and allows the drainage of water evacuated by the gutter of this courtyard.
