Commento
Gérard Mellier est le soixante-treizième maire de Nantes de 1720 à 1730. Il est le fils de Gérard Mellier et de Claudine Ballet et naquit à Lyon le 21 mai 1674. Il est conseiller du roi, trésorier de France, général des finances et grand-voyer en Bretagne. Il est aussi chevalier des ordres royaux militaire et hospitalier de Notre-Dame du Carmel et de Saint-Lazare de Jérusalem, commissaire et député du Conseil pour les affaires de la Compagnie des Indes, colonel de la milice bourgeoise, président du bureau de santé, etc.. Il meurt en exercice en 1729 après avoir été prolongé comme maire à plusieurs reprises et avoir reçu une épée sur la poignée de laquelle sont gravées les armes de la ville et les siennes “comme un monument de la reconnaissance que lui méritaient ses soins et services”. On lui doit de nombreuses améliorations : les pompes à incendie, la construction de l’Île Feydeau, le pont de la Bourse, l’Académie de musique, etc.. Ses armes portent d’azur à la fasce d’argent accompagnée de quatorze besants d’or, sept en chef posés trois, quatre ; sept en pointe posés quatre, trois.
Gérard Mellier was the seventy-third mayor of Nantes from 1720 to 1730. He was the son of Gérard Mellier and Claudine Ballet and was born in Lyon on May 21, 1674. He was a royal advisor, treasurer of France, general of finance and grand-voyer in Brittany. He was also a knight of the royal military and hospital orders of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem, commissioner and deputy of the Council for the affairs of the East India Company, colonel of the bourgeois militia, president of the health office, etc. He died in office in 1729 after having been extended as mayor several times and having received a sword on the hilt of which were engraved the arms of the city and his own “as a monument to the recognition that his care and services deserved.” We owe him many improvements: the fire pumps, the construction of the Île Feydeau, the Bourse bridge, the Academy of Music, etc. His coat of arms is azure with a silver fess accompanied by fourteen gold bezants, seven in chief placed three, four; seven in base placed four, three
