Montparnasse Tower View
$22.00
Two hundred and ten metres of dark glass on the Left Bank, opened in 1973 and still the only place in Paris where the whole city flattens beneath you. The enclosed 56th floor sits below an open terrace three storeys higher. From up there the Eiffel Tower looks small. There is an old joke that the best view in Paris is from this tower, because it is the one view that doesn't have to look at it. The Right Bank rolls north toward Sacré-Cœur. The Seine bends out of sight near the Île de la Cité.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
