The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Un monastère est bâti en 1241 pour les Chartreux. Plusieurs incendies ravagent le couvent, dont celui de 1582 qui conduit à la reconstruction de l'édifice. En 1793, la Révolution chasse les moines, et le monastère est vendu en 1794. En 1804, il ne reste plus que le bâtiment d'entrée, dit "bâtiment des étrangers", le reste étant en ruine. Les bâtiments étaient ordonnés autour de trois cours ou jardins successifs, le dernier comprenant le cimetière.

History
A monastery is built in 1241 for the Carthusians. Several fires ravage the convent, including that of 1582 which leads to the reconstruction of the building. In 1793, the Revolution expels the monks, and the monastery is sold in 1794. In 1804, only the entrance building remains, called the "building for strangers", the rest being in ruins. The buildings were arranged around three successive courtyards or gardens, the last comprising the cemetery.
