The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La plus grande partie du rez-de-chaussée est occupée par deux devantures entre lesquelles est conservé l'ancien portail d'entrée à arc brisé. Les fenêtres des étages comportaient des croisées de pierre disparues. Celles du premier étage paraissent, par leur décor, appartenir à des époques différentes, celle du centre présentant un encadrement Renaissance, celle de droite ayant un décor flamboyant. Deux des fenêtres du second étage possèdent un encadrement d'époque Renaissance. La façade se termine par une corniche moulurée d'une doucine.

The greater part of the ground floor is occupied by two shop fronts between which is preserved the old entrance portal with a pointed arch. The windows of the upper floors comprised stone mullions which have disappeared. Those of the first floor appear, by their decoration, to belong to different periods, that in the centre presenting Renaissance framing, that on the right having a flamboyant decoration. Two of the windows of the second floor possess a Renaissance-period framing. The facade is terminated by a moulded corniche with a cavetto.
