The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La pierre sculptée qui est incrustée dans la maison moderne provient très probablement des ruines de l'église abbatiale dont le chevet est tout proche. Des modillons semblables à celui-ci sont encore en place en plusieurs endroits de l'édifice. Sous le listel s'étend un large congé, légèrement creusé en cavet, d'où jaillit l'avant-corps d'un taureau aux cornes à peine recourbées.

History
The sculptured stone which is inlaid in the modern house probably comes from the ruins of the abbey church whose chevet is quite near. Modillions similar to this one are still in place in several places of the building. Under the listel extends a wide cavetto, slightly hollowed out, from which issues the fore-body of a bull with horns barely curved.
