The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La propriété se compose de bâtiments donnant sur une cour commune. La façade au 123 est à pans de bois avec deux niveaux. Au rez-de-chaussée, une grande porte de pierre avec un arc en accolade et un écusson, donne accès à l'immeuble. Fenêtres à meneaux. La façade du 121 date du 19e siècle, mais recouvre un immeuble des 15e et 16e siècles dont la façade sur cour est restée telle quelle. Sur cour, les deux immeubles comprennent, à leur extrémité, une tour polygonale qui a conservé son escalier à vis. Toutes les ouvertures sont chanfreinées. Sont encore visibles les corbeaux des deux galeries de bois qui desservaient les façades au même niveau.

The property comprises buildings facing onto a common courtyard. The façade at 123 is timber framing with two storeys. On the ground floor, a large stone door with a pointed arch and a coat of arms gives access to the building. Windows with mullions. The façade of 121 dates from the 19th century, but covers a building from the 15th and 16th centuries whose courtyard façade has remained unchanged. On the courtyard, the two buildings comprise, at their end, a polygonal tower which has retained its spiral staircase. All the openings are chamfered. There are still visible the corbels of the two wooden galleries which served the façades at the same level.
