The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le couvent a été fondé en 1635. Un incendie le détruisit en 1905. La porte de l'ancien couvent est une porte dorique dont l'architrave offre cette particularité d'être remplacée par une balustrade. Cette balustrade est surmontée par un fronton triangulaire interrompu, dans l'axe duquel se trouve un balustre isolé.

The convent was founded in 1635. A fire destroyed it in 1905. The door of the old convent is a Doric door of which the architrave offers the particularity of being replaced by a balustrade. This balustrade is surmounted by an interrupted triangular pediment, in the axis of which is found an isolated baluster.
