The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Selon la tradition, le roi Philippe le Hardi revenant de guerroyer en Espagne et ayant contracté une fièvre maligne, serait mort dans cette maison en 1285. La partie la plus intéressante est la porte extérieure, en plein cintre, avec encadrement intérieur chanfreiné. L'encadrement extérieur, mouluré, repose sur des corbeaux. L'unique corbeau conservé est sculpté de deux monstres emmêlés, l'un à tête de lion et ailes de chauve-souris, l'autre ressemblant à un oiseau.

According to tradition, King Philippe le Hardi, returning from warfare in Spain and having contracted a severe fever, is said to have died in this house in 1285. The most interesting part is the external door, in round arch, with chamfered internal framing. The external framing, moulded, rests on corbels. The sole surviving corbel is sculpted with two entangled monsters, one with a lion's head and bat wings, the other resembling a bird.
