The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette maison est probablement l'une des plus anciennes de Villefranche. Elle a conservé deux fenêtres et les traces d'un crénelage pouvant remonter au 13e siècle. La façade présente trois niveaux. Au-dessus des fenêtres du premier étage, les reprises de la façade laissent distinguer une coupure verticale paraissant être celle d'un ancien merlon.

This house is probably one of the oldest in Villefranche. It has retained two windows and traces of crenellation that may date back to the 13th century. The façade presents three levels. Above the windows of the first storey, the repairs to the façade allow distinction of a vertical break that appears to be that of an old merlon.
