The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Maison élevée de trois étages au-dessus du rez-de-chaussée, le premier et le second étant en encorbellement. Les poteaux corniers sont moulurés en forme de colonnes amorties par de grosses consoles soutenant les traverses. Les sculptures des consoles ont disparu. La façade sud est revêtue d'ardoises et ses fenêtres ont été, au 18e siècle, garnies de balcons en fer forgé. La façade ouest a conservé à peu près intacte son apparence d'origine.

History
House raised three storeys above the ground floor, the first and second being corbelled out. The corner posts are moulded in the form of columns ending with large consoles supporting the transverse members. The sculptures of the consoles have disappeared. The south facade is covered with slates and its windows were, in the 18th century, furnished with wrought iron balconies. The west facade has retained almost intact its original appearance.
