Hôtel de Fleuriau, Private mansion in La Rochelle, France.

The Fleuriau mansion features rough-cast stone walls, slate roofing, and a U-shaped layout with a rectangular extension facing the garden.

Built in 1740 for the Régnaud de Beaulieu family, merchant Aimé Benjamin de Fleuriau purchased the property in 1772 and expanded it in 1778.

The mansion houses the Museum of the New World, displaying collections about La Rochelle's connections with the Americas through maritime trade.

Located at 10 Rue Fleuriau, the museum presents exhibitions about historical relationships between France and colonial territories through paintings and artifacts.

The red salon contains detailed woodwork, painted mirrors, and a notable staircase with wrought iron railings from the eighteenth century.
