A view of the curtains of the roof of an art deco building 37 street of the Louvre. This building was built in 1934 by the architect Fernand Leroy and Jacques Cury to accommodate both newspapers Paris-Midi and Paris-Soir. Five years later, two million newspapers are coming out of the printing press in the basement of the building. The construction, modern, is fully planned for the implementation of newspapers. There is even a big diesel engine provided electricity in case of power failure. The upper floors are the most beautiful terraces where guests are received in peace, enjoying the magnificent view.
But like any business in the world war two who worked with german army, management changes hands for the release and communists newspapers took in commands: Ce Soir, Liberation, National Front (far left a newspaper) and humankind. Later Dawn and the Figaro will merge in 1985. It is said that some nights where humanity and the Figaro had printed, we brushed the confusion of pages.
This ship (as some people called the building) has been completely renovated from 2007 to 2008 and was included in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments. Some renovations are debatable but you can not stop progress.

There are only heavy structures in buildings.

This room was called the Grand Rex because of his height and the sloping floor in tiers remembers a famous parisian movie theater. In winter, there are many bats in this quarry, thank you not to disturb them!

Reservoirs of the Plaine Saint-Denis (here, the smallest tank), located under the France stadium are one of the largest type of construction. It can hold up to 165.000m ³ of water. The irregular shape of the pillars is due to the construction technique by molding (digging the soil, concrete injection and clearing the land around the pillar).

Walls are also in sand.

Those wood pillars are useless now...

Mushroom area in a big quarry. Bags are still goods.

The holy wells has a square base (33m below) whose sides are oriented toward the cardinal points.

In winter, there are many bats in this quarry, thank you not to disturb them!

One of the most interesting plates of the official ossuary. This part of the catacombs is hidden to the public.
It is inscribed "Catacombs low" while the corridor descends into a lower part of the quarry. The bones are placed in bulk.
