At the beginning of the 20th century, during the fashion for sea bathing, many wealthy people built beautiful villas with sea views. It was in 1907 that Gustave Cardinal, an industrialist in Rezé, had his villa built by the architect from Nantes, Etienne Coutan, who was awarded the Grand Prix de Rome in 1902.
Gustave Cardinal was a municipal assistant of the city of Moutiers-en-Retz and a friend of Etienne Coutan. This is why he entrusted him with the project management of his future villa, located on the dunes. During the German occupation, the Cardinal chalet was the headquarters of the Kommendatûr. In 1945, it was the headquarters of the liberation army. * Extract from Monique Albert's book "Flâneries aux Moutiers-en-Retz".
