Hôtel Durbé, Neoclassical private mansion in Nantes, France.

Located at 86 Quai de la Fosse, the mansion features tuffeau stone and granite construction with balanced proportions and elegant balconies.

Built in 1756 by architect Pierre Rousseau, the building initially belonged to ship captain Claude Durbé after purchasing the land for 14,350 livres.

The mansion represents the architectural preferences of 18th-century French elite merchants during Nantes' maritime trade development period.

The building stands at the intersection of Quai de la Fosse and Rue Mathurin-Brissonneau in the Dervallières-Zola district of Nantes.

The structure displays a noticeable tilt due to its construction on unstable soil, requiring specific adjustments during its building phase.
