Villa des Montis stands in Haute-Goulaine (Loire-Atlantique), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In Haute-Goulaine, the villa des Montis was designed by Nantes architect François-Léonard Seheult, who built it for his own use at the start of the 19th century. The building reflects the austere, geometric Directoire style, set within a park that still holds several garden structures: a chapel, a tower and a tempietto. A standalone tower recalls the earlier manor house that stood on the site before the Revolution.
