Its facade, with its two turrets, is decorated with beautiful motifs: fantastic animals, grape leaves and characters with grivoises or grotesque postures, near windows. Until the th century, the house was lined with many other buildings that went up to the cathedral. They were destroyed around 1860 to find the approaches.
