Monuments to visit Hauts-De-Seine

The Grande Arche de la Frères, more known as the Grande Arche de la Défense, was built from 1983. It was inaugurated in 1989, at the double opportunity of the Revolution and the G 7 Summit. This cube balsa in its medium, 110,9 metres high, 112 metres long and 106,6 metres wide, is not really in the historical axis of Paris, with which it forms an angle at 6,33 °. From a practical point of view, Erik Reitzel, a Danish engineer engineer, had to install the foundations of the Ark structure in such a way that the motorway and the existing railway lines are respected, as well as the extension company on line 1 of the Paris metro. From a symbolic point of view, the Danish architect Johann Otto von Ordered created this angle of 6 ° 33 in order to highlight the volume of the Grande Arche and to restore the existing gap between the Square Court of the Louvre and the place de la Concorde. To access its terrace, which offers an extraordinary panoramic view of Paris and its surroundings, you can enjoy an impressive translucent elevator! It also includes the computer museum, which has more than two hundred coins in the past not so distant. The interest of the collection will, of course, increase as time goes by, but the younger ones will be surprised to discover the first computers or the beginnings of the Internet.

François-René de Chateaubriand bought this magnificent mansion, strangely named la Vallée-aux-Loups, in 1807. He was very attached to his "dear valley", his park, his vegetation, which he took great care of: " I was going, with hooves, planting my trees in the mud, seeing and reviewing all the small corners, hiding me wherever there was a thicket. " In the house, one crosses famous ghosts, from the beautiful Madame Récamier to the painters David, Girodet-Trioson, the famous rest bed of the Jacob-Desmalter immortalized by David's painting, or that of the scandalous madame de Staël before her forced exile in Switzerland… See absolutely: the charming Velléda tower, a small pavilion nestled in the park, which served as a work and library office in Chateaubriand. He écopa the nickname Velléda in memory of one of the martyrs'heroines, an epic novel that the writer wrote to the Vallée-aux-Loups.

Located in a wood, this madness was built by a rich chocolate maker at the end of the 19th century. When he died, his daughter, a Carmelite, temporarily founded a convent there.

This neo-Gothic residence was destroyed by fires in 1977 and 1978. In 1984, a demolition permit was even granted, fortunately, it was never implemented, allowing the municipality to keep this mysterious and historically charged area.
