Description
Residence of General Ritay, Baron d'Empire, built or renovated around 1585 by Guillaume Mestre. The facade has a classic brick style, with keystones at the doors and windows to accommodate the hinges. Two turrets at the corners, placed in opposition, are surmounted by archaic Renaissance style roofs, resting at their base on pilaster -shaped supports. The walls of lateral buildings use the traditional method of the Garonne region, alternating layers of bricks and pebbles.
