16. Modern – far away – renovation

Modern buildings in Paris are almost a revolt against the old beautiful buildings of the city. I remember someone once calling the architecture of the 70’s “early ugly” and this couldn’t be closer to the truth here. Nevertheless, we decided to give this place a go since it promised spectacular views. It was a good thing that there something to look out on since the interior of the apartment was literally in shambles. They were in the process of renovating it, but based on the look of the progress so far, we had no confidence it would be an improvement once it was over so we passed.
