Pleyel turn

See also: Pleyel (homonymy)

The turn Pleyel is a Gratte-ciel of offices located at the Carrefour Pleyel with Saint-Denis in the Seine Saint-Denis in the Northern outskirts of the city of Paris.

Built in 1972 (Architects: Favatier - Herault), it is 129 m high and is surmounted by a giant revolving sign since 1997 (Bayer until in 1997, Philips until in 2006, then Siemens today) carrying its total height with 143 Mr. In addition to being visible to 3 Kilomètre by potentially 1 million people, this rotary neon sign is most imposing of Europe: 34 Meter S broad and 5,2 Meter S top.

The tower was built on the site of the old factories Pleyel. Various projects followed one another starting from 1959; that which was finally adopted envisaged the construction of four identical turns (having even a landing strip for helicopters on their roof) in the middle of a park of 4 ha. Finally, only one of the turns was built.

The tower is located in the vicinity immediate of the station of subway Carrefour Pleyel, on the line 13.
