Temple du Goût, 18th century private mansion in Nantes, France
The Temple du Goût spans six levels with granite on the ground floor and tuffeau stone on upper floors, featuring a central courtyard with monumental staircase.
Built in 1753 by architect Pierre Rousseau for ship owner Guillaume Grou, the building became a protected historical monument in August 1945.
The facade displays three mascarons depicting human figures, including representations of maritime trade that contributed to Nantes' economic development.
Located at 16 Duguay-Trouin and 30 Kervégan Street, the building remains private property with limited access except during Heritage Days.
The building incorporates Dutch-style foundation grids, an innovative construction technique designed specifically for the marshy soil of Feydeau Island.
