Tour Total, Office skyscraper in La Défense, France.
Tour Total is a modern office building standing 187 meters tall with 49 floors above ground and 5 levels below in the business district of Courbevoie. The structure features a geometric design with a smooth facade that clearly distinguishes it from older surrounding buildings.
Construction of the building began in 1982 and was completed in 1985 under the direction of architects WZMH Architects and Roger Saubot. The project arose during a period of rapid growth in the business quarter and contributed to its development as a major European business center.
The tower stands as one of the district's most recognizable landmarks and shapes how people perceive the business quarter's skyline. Visitors walking through the area notice how its form defines the neighborhood's visual identity.
The building sits directly next to the La Défense metro station and is easy to reach by public transportation. Ground-level entrances and surrounding sidewalks make approaching it straightforward whether you arrive by train or on foot.
The facade is covered with special metallic materials that reflect sunlight differently, making the tower appear distinct depending on time of day and weather conditions. This quality keeps it visually interesting at all hours, as its appearance constantly shifts.
