Hôtel de Courcy, Neoclassical private mansion Martenot Street, Rennes, France.

The south facade displays three levels with a Doric peristyle on the ground floor and an Ionic loggia on the upper floor beneath a triangular pediment.

Architect Louis-Guy Richelot designed and resided in this mansion from 1830 to 1842, before the La Goublaye de Nantois family initiated renovations in 1885.

The Jobbé-Duval and Odorico workshops created interior decorations including mosaics, colored friezes, and gilded moldings during the 1886 renovation period.

The Regional Council of Brittany, owner since 1983, uses the building for its assemblies and administrative services in renovated rooms.

A grand ceremonial staircase combines garden access and compensates for the sloping terrain, featuring decorated columns and a ceiling depicting Truth's triumph.
