The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 1865, Pierre Louis Card, entrepreneur à Besançon, achète un lotissement sur la future rue Morand. La pharmacie est ouverte en même temps que la rue (1868). Dans un immeuble représentatif d'une opération immobilière du Second Empire, la pharmacie, qui occupe depuis l'origine la moitié du rez-de-chaussée, a conservé sa devanture et le décor de sa salle principale (plafond orné de stucs peints ; boiseries de rangement avec tiroirs en soubassement surmontés d'étagères couronnées par une corniche).

In 1865, Pierre Louis Card, contractor in Besançon, purchases a plot of land on the future rue Morand. The pharmacy is opened at the same time as the street (1868). In a building representative of a real estate development of the Second Empire, the pharmacy, which has occupied since its origins half of the ground floor, has retained its shop front and the decoration of its main room (ceiling decorated with painted stucco; storage woodwork with drawers at the base topped by shelves crowned by a cornice).
