The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Maison bâtie au 18e siècle, ayant servi de poste des douanes quand la vallée n'était accessible que par le col du Tourmalet. Au début du 19e siècle, une fabrique de tissus de Barèges s'y installe. La toiture de plus de 600 m² se prolonge en auvent au-dessus d'une galerie à colonnes. Trois lucarnes subsistent au-dessus de la galerie, contre quatre à l'origine. Côté jardin, la maison présente plusieurs décrochements, avec deux niveaux de fenêtres. A l'intérieur, la cuisine a conservé son organisation ancienne, ses meubles, portes de placard et souillarde. Plusieurs pièces conservent des boiseries.

House built in the 18th century, which served as a customs post when the valley was only accessible via the Tourmalet pass. At the beginning of the 19th century, a Barèges textile factory established itself there. The roof of more than 600 m² extends as an overhang above a gallery with columns. Three dormers remain above the gallery, compared with four originally. On the garden side, the house has several offsets, with two levels of windows. Inside, the kitchen has retained its old arrangement, its furniture, cupboard doors and scullery. Several rooms retain wood panelling.
