Pierres Sculptées, Rue de l'Archeveché

Numerous sculpted stones adorn this street and still adorn the facades. On a house located on your right, you will not fail to see a Maltese Cross on the lintel that surmounts the entrance door. A former owner of the house must have belonged to the Order of the Knights of Malta. A little further on, a hand of justice decorates the lintel of the door of another house. This representation evokes the presence in this house of a man of law. This same house is also decorated with vine branches, reminding us that Saint Crépin is also a wine-growing area. Finally, to the right of the entrance to the Sarrazin house, there is an enigmatic inscription. Two readings are possible: the first name Jesus, a religious evocation, or 1511S, the date followed by a capital S, which would suggest the name of the owner beginning with the letter S.
