Their design and colour often serve as a subtle code, hinting at the building’s purpose or prestige. Nowhere is this tradition more alive than in France, where the variety and artistry of such doors are remarkable. This example, painted in a vibrant green, is both classic and ornate, carrying an elegant presence that perfectly complements the architecture it adorns. The building it belongs to was once the headquarters of the French Royal Mint in Rennes, Brittany.
