Île Feydeau, Historic district in central Nantes, France
The buildings of Île Feydeau display uniform white tuffeau stone facades decorated with carved masks and wrought iron balconies throughout the district.
Île Feydeau was developed from 1721 under Paul Esprit Feydeau de Brou, Brittany's intendant, transforming a marshy islet into a residential district.
The residences of Île Feydeau reflect the wealth of Nantes merchants and shipowners from the 18th century through their notable architectural features.
The cobblestone quays of the former island are now dedicated to pedestrians and cyclists, providing easy circulation around the historic buildings.
The buildings of the island gradually sink into the ground since the Loire River filling, creating a visible tilt in their facades.
