The medieval house, listed as historical monuments in 1949, where the Viguier lived, bears the signature of the master : "Maistre Francist me fecit". This is the only example of civil architecture signed by the department.
The facade has pointed openings with very clean lines only the first two levels are carefully fitted. The two twin windows are embellished with foliage and carved animals, like this composition formed by five birds followed by a creature that has the attributes of a dog and the allure of a pig.
