Amiens - Tour Perret
Standing on a little square, just behind the cathedral. When Pope Urban II (who was born 1025 in nearby Châtillon-sur-Marne) preached the first crusade on the Council of Clermont (1095), he was strongly supported by Pierre d’Amiens (aka "Peter the Hermit"). He is to be seen left. In the background is the Tour Perret, France´s first skyscraper. Architect Auguste Perret built this tower in the 1950s and for some time it was the highest building in Western Europe. Including the cube on top, that was added recently, it is 110 meters high.
