The Search for the Eastern Passage

Seeking the Eastern Passage

The Search for the Eastern Passage
Photograph by www.DiscoverParis.net

Just as brave 15th century explorers searched for the Northwest Passage to China, our intrepid blogger Tom Reeves can be seen here searching for the eastern passage to the Croulebarbe Tower in Paris.

In the late 1950s, architect Edouard Albert erected this apartment building near Place d’Italie. His design for the tower, quickly dubbed “the first skyscraper in Paris,” included a wide esplanade leading to its eastern entrance. Sadly, the esplanade was never built, and in this photograph we see Tom peeking forlornly over the sturdy iron fence that blocks the eastern approach.

Download this month’s Paris Insights to learn why the eastern passage to this remarkable structure was never built.

In the late 1950s, architect Edouard Albert erected a tall apartment building near Place d’Italie. The tower was quickly dubbed “the first skyscraper in Paris.”

In this photo, we see the two-story gap that Albert left in the seventh and eighth floors of the building. Read about this remarkable structure in this month’s Paris Insights and learn why he designed it this way.
