Located at 23, rue Kervéguen in Le Tampon, Maison Bel-Air is a remarkable building on the island of La Réunion. It was listed in the additional inventory of Historical Monuments on September 13, 1984, a designation that covers the facades, the roofs, and also the garden. It currently houses the honorary consulate of Seychelles in La Réunion.
The building is a demeure de style créole built around 1908 for the industrialist Robert Le Coat de Kerveguen. It was intended to serve as a residence for his mistress, Mademoiselle Deverne, an actress at the Comédie-Française.
In 1968, the house served as a filming location for François Truffaut's film La sirène du Mississipi.
