The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ces fragments appartenaient à une maison construite au 14e siècle et qui fut démolie lors de l'agrandissement de la rue. Ils furent ensuite incorporés dans la maison actuelle, commencée en 1912. Trois fines arcatures en tiers-point retombent sur des chapiteaux peu ouvragés. Elles se prolongent par des piliers dont les moulures continuent celles des arcs. Les corbelets de granit soutenant le bandeau sont ornés d'animaux et de personnages.

These fragments belonged to a house built in the 14th century which was demolished when the street was enlarged. They were subsequently incorporated into the present house, begun in 1912. Three slender pointed arcatures rest upon capitals of modest workmanship. They are prolonged by pillars whose mouldings continue those of the arches. The granite corbels supporting the band are decorated with animals and figures.
