Tour Les Poissons, Modern skyscraper in Courbevoie, France

Tour Les Poissons reaches a height of 150 meters with two connected towers, a white main structure and a smaller black section with 42 floors.

From its completion in 1970 until Tour Montparnasse opened in 1973, Tour Les Poissons held the distinction of being the tallest occupied building in France.

The tower's design by Henri Pottier incorporates two interlocked structures representing fish, relating to the astrological sign of Pisces in the Zodiaque development project.

The building dedicates thirty floors to residential apartments, while the top ten floors contain office spaces with wider windows for commercial tenants.

Until 2006, the tower featured a 22-meter cylindrical barometer that changed colors between red, green, and blue based on atmospheric pressure readings.
