La Tour Montparnasse

This is a view of the box that the Eiffel Tower came in. Actually, it is the Montparnasse Tower, the tallest sky scraper in Paris, with 58 floors. The tower was built in 1968 and is made up of offices, except for the top two floors which are tourism based. I reckon I ought to go up there and look around. In Paris there is a historic line of buildings called the Axe Historique, this building is not part of the Historic Axis, rather it forms a second Axe Historique that intersects the first. If one were to stand atop L'Arche de la Défense he would see that Montparnasse is exactly in front of the Eiffel Tower. If he were to carefully turn a bit to the left he would see the original Axe Historique: Grande Arch (1900s), Arc de Triumph (1800s), Place de la Concorde (1700s) and the Louvre (1600s). There is an unobscured road leading from the Grande Arch to the Louvre. You'll notice that each point in the Axe Historique is a monument commemorating the major events of each century. Recall that the Louvre was a palace in the 17th century, most French royals were guillotined in the Place de la Concorde in the 18th century, Napolean triumphantly came home to Paris through the Arc de Triumph in the 19th century, and the Grande Arch in La Défense was built to commemorate Parisian industry and modernism in the 20th Century. If that's not cool, I don't know what is.
