Tour Rive Gauche

Tour Rive Gauche is an office skyscraper in the Front de Seine district with modern glass and steel construction along the Seine River. The 32-story building connects to neighboring towers through an elevated esplanade that forms the district's upper level.

The building emerged in the 1970s as part of a major urban renewal project that transformed the 15th arrondissement with high-rise structures. This redevelopment fundamentally reshaped the district's character.

The tower defines the Front de Seine district, which intentionally breaks from traditional Parisian design by introducing tall buildings near the Eiffel Tower. Locals and visitors regard it as a modern landmark that symbolizes the city's transformation in the mid-20th century.

The building sits directly on the elevated esplanade, offering direct access to bridges and pathways between neighboring towers. A visit works best during daytime hours when public areas are fully open.

The upper floors reveal painted frescoes on the elevated esplanade that are difficult to see from ground level. These artistic details form part of the district's intentionally designed public realm.
