Comment
The architect distinguished two parts: a building on the quay, used for offices and apartments, and, in the axis of the composition, the coinage workshops, organized around several courtyards and aligned along rue Guénégaud.The quayside façade appears to have been inspired by Boullée's engraved design.
The door on the quay leads into a vestibule divided into five naves by Doric columns supporting coffered vaults. To the right, a three-ramp grand staircase leads to the salons on the noble floor.
