The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'immeuble est moderne ou très remanié. Il est possible que le gros heurtoir de la porte d'entrée provienne d'un autre édifice. Cet anneau massif sert de support à deux serpents enroulés dont les têtes s'affrontent de part et d'autre d'une plaque-support en forme de coquille. La base de l'anneau, dans la partie frappante renforcée, est décorée d'une large feuille d'acanthe, étroitement enroulée. L'anneau est strié de façon à simuler un assemblage de faisceau de joncs.

History
The building is modern or heavily altered. It is possible that the large knocker on the entrance door comes from another building. This massive ring serves as support for two entwined serpents whose heads face each other on either side of a shell-shaped support plate. The base of the ring, in the reinforced striking section, is decorated with a broad acanthus leaf, tightly coiled. The ring is striated in such a way as to simulate an assembly of bundles of rushes.
