26-storey residential building built from 1949 to 1952.
Spire: 110 m (360 ft).
Roof: 104 m (341).
France was obviously late in that kind of architecture, that's always been controversial in this country.
That tower has nonetheless been listed in the national heritage since 1975. |
Handsome tower. Looks taller than the floor count would suggest, given how slender it is.
