Hôtel de La Villestreux, Neoclassical private mansion in île Feydeau, Nantes, France
The five-story mansion features twelve bays with 180 openings and a central projection decorated with a pediment on Place de la Petite-Hollande.
Built between 1743 and 1754 for merchant Nicolas Perrée de La Villestreux, the mansion later housed Jean-Baptiste Carrier during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror.
The interior courtyards display mascarons depicting Mercury and Neptune, reflecting the maritime commercial activities of 18th-century Nantes merchants.
The building contains two grand staircases in the north and south wings, connecting multiple apartments that range from fifteen to twenty rooms.
The mansion stands on a timber raft foundation system called 'gril,' engineered to support the structure on the soft ground near the Loire River.
