History
The Montparnasse Tower, also known as Tour Montparnasse, is a prominent skyscraper located in the Montparnasse district of Paris, France. It stands as one of the tallest buildings in the city and is known for its distinctive modern architecture. Here are some key points about the Montparnasse Tower:
- Construction: The tower's construction was completed in 1973. It was designed by architects Eugène Beaudouin, Urbain Cassan, and Louis Hoym de Marien. The building's design deviates significantly from the traditional Parisian architectural style, which has led to mixed opinions about its aesthetics.
- Height: The Montparnasse Tower is approximately 210 meters (689 feet) tall, making it the second tallest building in Paris after the Eiffel Tower. Its imposing presence stands out in the Parisian skyline due to the relatively low-rise nature of the city's historic architecture.
