Cheminée du Front de Seine, Industrial chimney in Front de Seine, Paris, France
The 130-meter white chimney rises from the Front de Seine district, featuring functional vents at its summit for steam ventilation purposes.
Construction of this industrial structure occurred between 1970 and 1971 under the direction of architect François Stahly as part of district modernization.
The structure represents the industrial evolution of Paris, incorporating architectural design principles within its functional industrial purpose.
The chimney ventilates steam from six boilers that provide central heating and hot water to the surrounding buildings through underground pipes.
In 2013, a pair of Peregrine falcons established their nest in a birdbox installed on the chimney, successfully raising three chicks.
