Manoir de la Placelière, Manor house in Château-Thébaud, France.
The stone manor house features traditional French architecture with symmetrical windows, a central entrance, and extensive surrounding grounds in Loire-Atlantique region.
Nantes shipowner Guillaume Grou rebuilt the manor after 1740, and following destruction during the Vendée War, it was reconstructed in 1808 at the same location.
The manor received Benjamin Franklin during his visit to Nantes in December 1776, marking a connection between French and American diplomatic relations.
Since 2012, the property functions as a private school for boys under the management of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X.
The estate name originates from Thomas Rapion de la Placelière, a captain of the French East India Company who previously owned the property.
