Quarries of Paris

Quarries of Paris

The main dome of the fashion store called "Printemps" (spring). It was built in 1923 by the glassworker master Briere.

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).
