Description
This country house, rectangular in shape with corner pavilions, is emblematic of Toulouse architecture, characterized by its brick walls and detailed facades. The buildings are arranged around a rectangular courtyard, with a wall at the entrance where there is a portal framed by pilasters. The sides of the courtyard are flanked by outbuildings whose facades are decorated with pilasters and arcades. At the rear of the courtyard is the main body of the house, which opens with an Ionic triumphal arch, preceded by an iron -shaped steps. The windows keep their stone crusaders with carved mullions. The building still has defensive elements: it was surrounded by moat and angle pavilions, designed in bastioned shape, included loopholes. Inside, some pieces still display a French ceiling and chimneys.
