Tour Total

Tour Total (previously known as Tour Elf from 1985 to 1999, then Tour TotalFinaElf from 1999 to 2003) is an office skyscraper located in La Défense, Courbevoie, the high-rise business district west of and adjacent to the city of Paris, France, designed in the Modern architectural style.

The building now serves as headquarters for TotalEnergies, one of the six "Supermajor" oil companies in the world.

The site on which the Tour Total was built was initially reserved for a skyscraper which would have been a twin tower to Tour Areva, but the oil shock of 1974 forced the investors to cancel their project.

For instance, the Tour Total is much more efficient in terms of energy consumption than previous La Défense skyscrapers.

Standing 48 storeys tall,[1] Tour Total actually consists of five bodies of different heights super-imposed on each other.
