Built in 1985, it is about the most skyscraper of Defense and second French after the Tour Montparnasse. The Tower Total Cupola is 190 m high. The roof is located at 187 m of the ground and supports a small room of telecommunication a height from approximately 3 Mr. the site of the tower in the beginning was designed to accommodate the twin tower of the Tour Areva, finally ever built.
