House of the 15th century representative of the average urban housing of Riez. It is composed of two bodies of building separated by a small courtyard forming a light well open onto a spiral staircase. Under the corbelling is found a ceiling with clay infill with heraldic decoration in gypsum work of the 15th century. The spiral staircase and the various rooms on the floors have retained their decoration in gypsum work, datable to the first half of the 17th century (corresponding to a partial reconstruction of the house).
