Internal courtyard with glass roof and brick Well Staircase tower, in Citeco, Musee de la'Economie, a new interactive museum on the economy, opened June 2019, in the Hotel Gaillard, on the Place du General Catroux, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, France. The Well Staircase is a romantic interpretation of a medieval and Renaissance architectural feature, featuring a spiral staircase, a pulley mimicking that of a well, and a structure resembling an upturned boat. The Hotel Gaillard was built 1878-82 by architect Jules Fevrier in Neo Renaissance style for the banker Emile Gaillard, and later became a branch of the Banque de France. The building is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
