The Ministère de la Culture's notice

D'après la tradition, cette maison aurait été celle du Grand Veneur d'Orléans. La façade sur rue est percée au premier étage de deux fenêtres, dont l'une est avec pilastres surmontés de chapiteaux sculptés du 16e siècle. Un vieil escalier extérieur en bois est accolé au bâtiment dans la cour. A l'intérieur, les deux cheminées du rez-de-chaussée sont d'époque Louis XV. Elles devaient être décorées de peintures de même époque, encadrées de trumeaux.

According to tradition, this house would have been that of the Grand Veneur of Orléans. The façade on the street is pierced on the first floor by two windows, one of which has pilasters surmounted by sculpted capitals of the 16th century. An old external wooden staircase is attached to the building in the courtyard. Inside, the two fireplaces of the ground floor are of the Louis XV period. They were to be decorated with paintings of the same period, framed by chimney-breasts.
