Story: You get two pictures today, the first is the door, the second the inscription above the door. The hotel is long gone. There is a plaque in the wall beside this door that refers you to http://cribier.net/Hotel-Raoul/ for more information on the door. The article is in French.
It is not clear why the door has been almost preserved. It seems to have survived in spite of the neglect imposed upon it. A magnificent door it is. The buildings it hides date from the 1500′s to the 1800′s. I am also not sure why it is called an hotel, since it appears to have never fulfilled that role.
