Origin and history

The building located at 10 Turenne quai in Nantes is an iconic 18th-century building, typical of the Nantes architecture of this period. Its inscription in the title of historical monuments by order of 23 June 1986 underlines its heritage importance, particularly for its facades, roofs and stairwell, elements protected by this classification.

The building is part of the urban landscape of Feydeau Island, a historic area of Nantes marked by a rich architectural heritage. Although the sources do not specify its initial use, its style and location suggest a link with the economic and commercial development of the city in the Enlightenment century, when Nantes played a major role in maritime commerce.

Bibliographical references, as in the book Feydeau Island: Nantes (1992) by Gilles Bienvenu and Françoise Lelièvre, attest to the historical and architectural interest of this area. The building is also listed in the Mérimée base, a reference tool for French heritage, under the code Insee 44109 corresponding to the town of Nantes in Loire-Atlantique.
