The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette pierre est située presque à l'angle nord de la maison. Sa forme irrégulière indique qu'elle fait partie de la maçonnerie de l'ensemble du mur. Le crépissage qui la recouvrait a été retiré pour pouvoir graver l'inscription sur deux lignes : "LE ROY LOUIS XIII BAM / XX OCTOBRO 1632". Cette inscription, destinée à commémorer le souvenir de la visite royale, peut éclairer l'histoire de la révolte de Gaston d'Orléans et du duc de Montmorency, révolte qui eut son épisode sous les murs de Castelnaudary et sur les bords du Fresquel, non loin de Bram.

History
This stone is situated almost at the north corner of the house. Its irregular form indicates that it is part of the masonry of the entire wall. The render covering it was removed in order to engrave the inscription on two lines: "LE ROY LOUIS XIII BAM / XX OCTOBRO 1632". This inscription, intended to commemorate the memory of the royal visit, can shed light on the history of the revolt of Gaston d'Orléans and the duke of Montmorency, a revolt which had its episode under the walls of Castelnaudary and on the banks of the Fresquel, not far from Bram.
