Here are some pictures taken by A. Gillette, in the early 90s, when the maison de la Catalogne was having some works done, resulting in the present aspect. On the right picture you can see the inner tower and on the left a staircase, now hidden. The bottom wall of the shop is likely to be as high as the right partiion of the staircase. The latter probably leads to a flat inside the tower whose windows open on the cour de l'hôtel de Rohan.
