The Hôtel-Dieu was built in the XVIth century. It is typical of the hospitable(hospital) architecture of this time(period): the chapel pine nut of which the wall looks onto the street Shrimp is extended by a room of the sick and a cooking(kitchen). Two other buildings(ships) of classic style were added to the XVIIth century to increase the possibilities of welcome(reception) of the sick and of the staff of service(department).
