Historique
Construction du deuxième quart du 18e siècle. Depuis le côté ouest, la chartreuse s'organise sur un plan en T avec, comme barre horizontale, un corps de bâtiment dont l'élévation ouest constitue la façade principale. L'aile Est divise la façade Est en deux. Deux légers avant-corps encadrent quatre travées centrales. Ils sont surmontés de toits de tuiles plates à longs pans à croupe et égout retroussé, contrastant avec la toiture légèrement brisée des travées centrales.

History
Construction of the second quarter of the 18th century. From the west side, the charterhouse is organised on a T-shaped plan with, as the horizontal bar, a building block whose west elevation constitutes the main façade. The East wing divides the East façade into two. Two slight pavilions frame four central bays. They are crowned with flat tile roofs with long slopes and hipped ends with turned-up eaves, contrasting with the slightly broken roofing of the central bays.
