Tour Perret & Parc Paul-Mistral
Tour Perret
Completed in 1925, the Perret Tower is one of the world's earliest reinforced-concrete towers, standing in the city's largest park.
The Perret Tower was designed by architect Auguste Perret for the 1925 International White Coal (hydroelectric) Exhibition. It is about 95 m tall and is a French historic monument. Because of renovation work, the tower is not open for climbing at present, so visitors can only view it from below. The Paul-Mistral Park where it stands is the largest green space in the city center, with the town hall and the former 1968 Winter Olympics stadium site nearby, making it ideal for walks and picnics.
