The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La porte de l'ancien couvent des Cordeliers a été transférée en ville. Elle est encadrée de deux pilastres ioniques portant un entablement dont la frise est ornée de rinceaux. La clé de la plate bande formant linteau garde la trace d'un écusson porté par deux amours et couronné d'un masque et de feuillage. Au-dessus de l'entablement est creusée une niche surmontée d'une urne, accolée de consoles et de deux pots de fleurs ornés de têtes d'amours et de draperies. Un oeil de boeuf elliptique est percé au-dessus de chaque pot de fleur.

History
The door of the former convent of the Cordeliers was transferred to the town. It is framed by two Ionic pilasters bearing an entablement whose frieze is ornamented with scrollwork. The key of the band forming a lintel bears the trace of an escutcheon carried by two cupids and crowned with a mask and foliage. Above the entablement is hollowed a niche surmounted by an urn, flanked by consoles and two flower pots ornamented with cupid heads and draperies. An elliptical oculus is pierced above each flower pot.
