Maison de la Radio, Broadcasting headquarters in 16th arrondissement, France.

The circular structure spans 700 meters in circumference with a 68-meter central tower, housing 1000 offices and 63 recording studios.

Charles de Gaulle inaugurated the building on December 14, 1963, following its construction by architect Henry Bernard to centralize French radio operations.

The Grand Auditorium seats 1462 people and contains a massive organ with 5,320 pipes, while Studio 104 maintains original bas-relief sculptures.

The building underwent extensive renovations from 2005 to 2014, modernizing its facilities while preserving the characteristic 1960s architectural elements.

The building contains performance spaces for Radio France orchestras, administrative offices, and broadcasting studios in a continuous ring-shaped structure.
