Direction régionale de l'économie, de l'emploi, du travail et des solidarités (ex-DIRRECTE)

In August 1973, a building permit application for the construction of the regional administrative center of the Service régional de l’Equipement was submitted but initially rejected due to noncompliance with the neighborhood's character, which featured brick-clad facades. The chosen site is at the edge of the Champs-Élysées district in the historic center of Orléans. Following a revision of their project, architects Bernard Henry and Jacques Bruneteau successfully obtained the necessary permit in December 1973.
