The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Magasin fondé en 1905, comprenant deux étages sur rez-de-chaussée, un étage de comble et deux niveaux en sous-sol. Une machine électrique assure la ventilation et anime l'ascenseur. Les rayons sont en acajou et l'ensemble est complété par un salon de lecture et un de correspondance. En 1984-1985, le magasin est réaménagé par la société immobilière parisienne qui le rachète. Le volume est découpé en plateaux, le rez-de-chaussée est divisé en huit boutiques. L'édifice a conservé son aspect extérieur en pierres de taille. Les niveaux supérieurs s'ornent de trumeaux sculptés alternant avec de larges baies rectangulaires. Sur la toiture, des puits de lumière ont remplacé l'ancienne verrière.

Store founded in 1905, comprising two storeys over ground floor, an attic storey and two basement levels. An electric machine ensures ventilation and operates the lift. The shelving is in mahogany and the whole is completed by a reading room and a correspondence room. In 1984-1985, the store is refurbished by the Parisian property company that acquires it. The volume is divided into platforms, the ground floor is divided into eight boutiques. The edifice has retained its external appearance in ashlar stone. The upper levels are decorated with sculpted trumeaux alternating with large rectangular openings. On the roof, light wells have replaced the former glazed roof.
