Ugly, unloved and controversial: the real estate fiasco of Paris' tallest tower

The Montparnasse Tower in Paris, standing at 209 meters, offers the city's best views but is unpopular among locals. A renovation project, first proposed a decade ago, has stalled due to high costs. The project, estimated at 800 million euros, was set to begin this autumn but has been rejected by the majority of the building's owners. The tower has been in a state of limbo for months.
