Actually, I took this in 1995 so I don't remember exactly where it was taken. It was on the last floor, into the building if I remember well. Catherine.

Catherine, in the summer of 1995 I was on a field-trip to France. We stayed a few days in Paris and of course we went to see "La Grande Arche". Did you know it is designed and engineered by Danes? Sprechelsen is the name of the now diseased Danish Architect (unsure of the spelling of his name). Do you know the story behind the slight turn off the axis? Anyway, I was there and I don't remember seeing anything like this! Is this the structure holding the "sails" in the void? I didn't bother to take the elevator, as the lines were too long. Maybe this is taken from the elevator? --Olaf
