Rear facade of the Director's House or Maison du Directeur (right), and the storehouse and stables of the Director (left), 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. The Director's House has an imposing portico with 6 Doric columns, a triangular pediment with oculus and a belvedere. The building houses an assembly room, offices, bank, apartments, servants quarters and a basement for storage. The 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
