The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce corps de garde crénelé, est dérivé du modèle 1846 n°3, mais adapté aux conditions du terrain (construit en creusant le roc). Il a été profondément modifié lors de sa transformation en habitation ; l'environnement est dénaturé. Il constitue le seul exemple sur l'île d'adaptation du modèle aux contraintes géographiques.

History
This crenellated guard house is derived from the 1846 model no. 3, but adapted to the conditions of the terrain (built by cutting into the rock). It was profoundly modified when transformed into a dwelling; the surroundings have been altered. It constitutes the only example on the island of adaptation of the model to geographical constraints.
