Staircase in the entrance of the Director's House or Maison du Directeur, leading to a chapel and altar, part of the Royal Saltworks or Saline Royale, begun 1775 in Neoclassical style by architect Claude Nicolas Ledoux, 1736-1806, at Arc-et-Senans, Doubs, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. This staircase replaces the original one, which was destroyed by lightning in 1918. The Director's House holds an exhibition on the History of Salt. The building includes an assembly room, offices, bank, apartments, chapel, servants quarters and a basement for storage. The saltworks site is designed in a semicircle, with the Director's House, 2 saltworks containing drying ovens, heating pots and salt stores, workers' accommodation and Director's stables. An Ideal City was also planned but never built. The site is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
