"The deed of acquisition of 5 Vendémiaire Year 11 relates to a house and garden, part of which is planted with groves, located in the street called du petit Versailles, the said house consisting of a large main building, courtyard, backyard, sheds, stables, loft for hay and wood, and quarters for the janitor”. At that time, the building consisted of a dwelling between courtyard and garden, the oldest parts of which date from the 15th century, and a common wing (the north wing) added at the end of the 18th century.
