The high entrance porch from 1614, both powerful and elegant, raises its noble facade adorned with a sumptuous decoration of pilasters, broken pediments, garlands of fruit, bands, framing the sculptures of Vertumnus and Pomona, as well as Justice by Marin Bourgeois (1550-1634) painter, sculptor, engineer, having received the title of painter of King Henry IV and accommodation at the Louvre, some of these works are preserved in major French museums.
