Rue Arnaud Miqueu (drawing on the left)
The wall of the ground floor is of quarry stone (rubble)
covered with a layer of roughcast.
The openings are surroundes by cut stone. The large bay
with the lintel of type basket handle-arch dates from after
the construction of the building because a wooden beam is to be found above the
stone fitting. This beam would certainly have served as the old lintel
for the original opening. The other openings on the ground floor
could date from the construction.
The wall of the first, second and third floors is timber framed
in a Cross of Saint-Andre or "Croisettes".
The bays have stained glass windows.
The roof is covered with channel tiles and has a weak slope (30%) called
"à la guise de Bordeaux".
