The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'escalier Louis XIII, situé dans une courette, est construit autour d'un noyau formé de quatre piles reliées par des arcs plein cintre ou rampants. Il dessert deux étages. Les paliers sont soutenus par des arcs d'une seule portée d'une paroi à l'autre de la courette. A chaque étage, ces paliers avancent à leurs extrémités en quart de rond pour pouvoir desservir deux portes de chaque côté. Les portes-à-faux ainsi formés sont soutenus par des consoles. Les balustres sont de section carrée.

The Louis XIII staircase, situated in a small courtyard, is built around a core formed of four piles connected by round or ramp arches. It serves two storeys. The landings are supported by arches of a single span from one wall to the other of the small courtyard. At each storey, these landings project at their ends in a quarter-circle to be able to serve two doors on each side. The cantilevers thus formed are supported by consoles. The balusters are of square section.
