Hôtel Bonnaffé, Historic private mansion in Bordeaux, France.

This neoclassical private mansion was designed by architect Étienne Laclotte and features harmonious proportions with ornate facades that exemplify 18th-century Bordeaux residential architecture.

Built between 1783 and 1785 for shipowner François Bonnaffé, this mansion was constructed after purchasing three adjoining houses and remained in the family until 1844.

The mansion represents the refined lifestyle of wealthy maritime merchants in 18th-century Bordeaux, featuring elegant interior decorations including carved woodwork painted in silver-gray lacquer.

Located at 54 cours du Chapeau-Rouge, the building is easily accessible by public transport and serves as a landmark in Bordeaux's historic center near other notable monuments.

The architect specifically designed the building to be visible from the Grand Theatre, making it a deliberate urban reference point in the city's architectural landscape.
