Prefecture hotel of Morbihan
Prefecture hotel of Morbihan, Administrative building in Vannes, France.
The Prefecture Hotel is a neoclassical administrative building in Vannes featuring symmetrical wings and classical columns. Its main facade displays imperial symbols and decorative elements representing regional cultural features.
