This was the ancient _Palace of the Court des Aides_. The building is
principally composed of hewn stone: it was built about the year 1509.
Although this edifice has suffered numerous degradations, it still
merits the attention of connoisseurs. The building has two separate
fronts: the principal one opposite the cathedral, the other in the _rue
du Petit-Salut_. The decorations are the same on both.

In 1705, the _Cour des Aides_ was united to the _Cour des Comptes_,
under the name _Cour de Comptes, Aides et Finances de Rouen_. The
present edifice has nevertheless always retained the name of _Bureau des
Finances_.
