Zephyr, detail, on the facade of the Hotel Tronchon, also known as La Maison Trochon, Hotel Trochon or Hotel des Zephyrs, a mansion built 1742 in neoclassical style by Pierre Rousseau, for the shipowner Trochon, at 17 Quai de la Fosse, Nantes, Pays de la Loire, France. The facade displays many masks and balcony supports of zephyrs, or young boys with butterfly wings. The building is listed as a historic monument. Nantes was an important trading port, profiting from the slave trade from 17th - 19th century. This quayside area houses the large mansions built by wealthy shipowners and slave traders.
