Between Past and Future: The Stone Symphony of Nantes

The CGA building, located at 14-16 rue Racine in Nantes, France, was constructed in 1932 and designed by architect Henri Vié. Originally labeled as 'Patrimoine du XXe siècle', it was later inscribed as a Monument historique in 2015. This building, made of béton and imitating stone, follows the art-deco style. Nantes-métropole gestion équipements occupies the ground floor, a society responsible for managing the city's stationing and leisure equipment. Above, the building offers apartments for residents. The courtyard in the middle, providing access to U-shaped buildings, is a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. The mosaic floor in the hall, signed Graziana, is a testament to the attention to detail in the building's design. The CGA building stands as a symbol of Nantes' architectural past, a harmonious blend of the urban and the residential.
