Tour de Lille (previously known as Tour du Crédit-Lyonnais between 1995–2006[1]) is an office skyscraper in Euralille, the business district of the Lille metropolitan area.
Designed by Christian de Portzamparc,[2] this emblematic tower of the city of Lille is also called "the ski boot", "the flipper" or even "the L".[3]
116 m high, with an area of 18,135 m2, it is the fifth tallest tower outside of Île-de-France behind the Tour Incity in Lyon, the Tour Part-Dieu in Lyon, the Tour CMA-CGM in Marseille and the Tour Bretagne in Nantes.
The Tour de Lille overlooks the Lille-Europe station.
