Designed like the arch of a bridge over the river, this imposing government ministry is exceptionally open to the public during European Heritage Days.
Formerly located inside the prestigious setting of the Louvre, the Ministry and its staff moved into their current premises here between 1983 and 1989. Located at Bercy, the finance Ministry is made up of three main buildings with a modern architecture inspired by Colbert, Vauban, and Necker. The two 72-metre high arches are the monumental doors to the city.
Architects: Paul Chemetov, Borja Huidobro, Louis Arretche and Roman Karasinsky.
