"Former convent of the "Ladies of Faith". In the 16th century, the house was opened on the river side by a vast gallery with arcades, framed on the street side by the watchtower, and on the other side by the square turret visible on the roof.

The extension, built in 1833 (under Louis-Philippe), came to hide the gallery that remains in the interior volume. One can observe, at the corner of the house, the marking of different floods."

" Ancien couvent des "Dames de la Foi". Au XVI“ siècle, la maison était ouverte côté rivière par une vaste galerie à arcades, encadrée côté rue par l‘échauguette, et de l'autre côté parla tourelle carrée visible en toiture.

L'extension, bâtie en 1833 (sous Louis-Philippe), est venue masquer la galerie qui subsiste dans le volume intérieur. On peut observer, à l'angle de la maison, le marquage de différentes crues."
