Origin and history

The building at numbers 2 and 3 of the Flesselles driveway in Nantes is an emblematic building of the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. Built in an architectural style characteristic of this period, it is distinguished by its facades on dock, its return of 6,60 meters from the cut section on the Rue de la Paix, as well as its roof slopes and its original staircase, still preserved. These elements contributed to its designation as historic monuments in 1945, highlighting its heritage importance in the Nantes landscape.

The decree of 9 November 1945 formalizes the protection of the building, specifically covering the facades, roofs and staircases of the 18th century of the number 3 platform of Flesselles. The contractor identified for this building is Ceineray, although little additional information on its design or historical use is available from current sources. The exact address, intersected between the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, confirms its location between the Quai de Flesselles and Rue de la Paix, in a central area of Nantes.

The location of the building, noted with an accuracy considered "passable" (level 5/10), reflects the challenges of geolocation of ancient monuments in heritage databases. The photographs available, such as those of Jibi44 under Creative Commons license, document its present appearance, while its legal status (registered but not classified) makes it a moderate but significant witness to the Nantes urbanism of the Enlightenment century. No information is provided on its current accessibility to the public, whether it be visits, rentals or accommodation.
