Hôtel de Blossac

The Hôtel de Blossac is an 18th-century hôtel particulier in the historic center of Rennes, Brittany.

The building, which has two main wings, was constructed in 1728. The architect is said to have been Jacques Gabriel. The building has a unique classical architecture for Brittany, including its size, the assembly of several architectural components, and its grand staircase.

Property of the La Bourdonnaye family, earls of Blossac, for nearly two centuries, it was leased by the city as the residence of the commander in chief of the province of Brittany, with a pomp reminiscent of the court of France. At the French Revolution, it was divided into apartments and became a residential building, where the author Paul Féval was born.
