The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Maison voisine de celle de Jean Briçonnet et qui faisait peut-être partie de la même propriété. Elle a conservé une petite pièce voûtée que l'on qualifie d'oratoire et qui a récemment encore servi de cuisine. La voûte nervurée retombe sur des culots à feuillages. Une clef de voûte est ornée des armes des familles Briçonnet et Berthelot.

History
House neighbouring that of Jean Briçonnet and which was perhaps part of the same property. It has retained a small vaulted room which is termed an oratory and which recently still served as a kitchen. The rib vault rests on corbels with foliate decoration. A keystone is decorated with the arms of the Briçonnet and Berthelot families.
