John Baptist de La Salle was born there on 30 April 1651, as the statue placed in a niche in the façade in 1952 reminds us.
Since May 2015, a new museographic tour presents the history of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and their founder and reality in 2016.
The Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle hotel was built from 1545 by a rich cloth merchant. The various ornamentation motifs can be seen in the Renaissance tastes. On the interior facade (1556-1557), turrets and a spiral staircase, crowned by an elegant bell tower, recall the castle of Blois.
