Show NavigationSafe door, Societe Generale, Paris, France
Open door to the bank safe in the basement of the registered head office of Societe Generale, at 29 Boulevard Haussmann in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, France. The 2.76m wide circular door was made by Fichet at the Creusot forges and installed in 1912. It leads to an armoured access drum and a second reinforced door, behind which are the 4 levels of the safe. The bank was founded in 1864 and these buildings were transformed 1906-12 by Jacques Hermant, and in use from 1915. Societe Generale remains one of the largest banks in the world, although its headquarters are now at La Defense. The Haussmann building is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
