The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette maison du 13e siècle présente, dans son élévation sur rue, un spécimen de façade de maison de petit commerçant au Moyen Age. La façade est caractéristique de cette époque par son accès direct de la rue à la cave pour y entreposer les marchandises ; son rez-de-chaussée aux baies moulurées. L'étage est percé de baies géminées, deux masques soulignant la brisure des arcs. L'intérieur du rez-de-chaussée est intéressant par ses nombreux arcs en pierre de taille.

This 13th-century house presents, in its elevation on the street, a specimen of façade of a small tradesman's house in the Middle Ages. The façade is characteristic of this period by its direct access from the street to the cellar for storing merchandise; its ground floor with moulded openings. The upper storey is pierced with paired openings, two masks underlining the break of the arches. The interior of the ground floor is interesting for its numerous pointed arches in ashlar stone.
