Immeuble de la DDE

The building, constructed during World War II, aimed to consolidate the services of the Public Works Department. Initial plans were provided by J. Berthier, while E. Mas-Chancel focused on the elevation composition. Construction began in 1941 on state land along the left bank of the Têt River, near Avenue du Maréchal-Joffre, and was completed with its inauguration in July 1945. The main facade is prominent and features a grand entrance courtyard, centered around a striking tower topped with a colonnaded belvedere made of marble.
