If you feel like it, go up there? At least from the top of this tower, you won't be bothered by the view! Its construction in 1973 spoiled the neighborhood and especially removed the old and picturesque Montparnasse station.

Location of the old Montparnasse train station demolished at the end of the 60s to build the tower of the same name. Georges Méliès, the brilliant pioneer of cinema, ended his days selling toys in a store on the first floor of the station. There is of course nothing more to see but one can dream? It was also there on August 25, 1944 that General de Gaulle was handed the surrender act of the Germans by General Leclerc.
