TOUR MONTPARNASSE

In the south of Paris, near the gare Montparnasse, there is a strange beast: a very tall, very black, office block. It seems to me to be a more masculine attempt at dominating the Parisian skyline but it in no way really compares with its older sister by the river. But it does serve a very useful purpose in providing wonderful views across Paris from its roof. Oh, and there’s skating at the bottom in the winter.
