MAISONS A PANS DE BOIS

"A royal town since the second half of the 13th century, the village was an important place of passage and trade in the Middle Ages. These two adjoining houses have a long façade facing the square, with a significant corbelling and a return to the west to the passage which was an old mill ditch.

They belong to the group of half-timbered houses with floor panels. The two storeys are in fact marked by the presence of a wall plate and joists forming a corbel. The filling is made of local tuff. The bay located at the eastern corner retains architectural elements from the medieval period (bay with a three-lobed filling, oculus with a four-lobed filling), which can be dated to the end of the 14th or beginning of the 15th century.

The ground floor is built of sandstone, pink sandstone being used for the frames. It seems to be reserved for shops. The first floor contains the main room while the second floor is occupied by the bedrooms.
