Presentation
This unique house dates back to 1911 and boasts a bow window and a very motley interior. Its original owner, Ernest Desurmont, a textile industrialist and painter, was an inveterate collector!
The entrance door comes from the prison of the former town hall, some of the wooden bas-reliefs from the church of Saint-Christophe and the statues, marbles and columns from castles and churches.
A visit not to be missed!
