1. Hôtel de Bezannes Marker
Cet hôtel particulier a probablement été construit par Pierre de Bezannes, lieutenant des habitants au XVᵉ siècle. Implanté à l’origine sur une vaste parcelle, l’ensemble comprenait un corps principal et deux pavillons encadrant une cour d’honneur.
Après-guerre, le pavillon subsistant est restitué par l’architecte Max Sainsaulieu et positionné 4 mètres en retrait, pour s’aligner au Cours Langlet.
Les grandes baies des façades reprennent des ornements représentatifs du gothique flamboyant : clochetons, pinacles, arcs en accolade…

After the war, the remaining wing was restored by architect Max Sainsaulieu and positioned 4 metres back so as to be in line with the Cours Langlet.
The large bay windows on the façades are adorned with more flamboyant Gothic touches: ridge turrets, pinnacles, ogee arches, etc.

Nach dem Krieg wurde der verbliebene Pavillon vom Architekten Max Sainsaulieu restauriert und 4 m nach hinten versetzt errichtet, um sich an den Cours Langlet anzupassen.
Die großen Fenster der Fassaden spiegeln repräsentative Ornamente der Spätgotik wider: Glockentürmchen, Fialen, Kielbögen…
