Two skyscrapers looking something like some legs descending from the sky above will become France's tallest buildings.
Designed by Foster and Partners, Tours Hermitage (Hermitage Towers for the non-baguette eaters) are two 323m high towers planned for Paris' La Defense suburb.
Both are identical glass towers, featuring white bracing. They are widest in the middle and taper at the top and bottom (okay, so they're not quite like my legs).
The development will be mostly luxury residential, with apartments featuring infinity pools and spas.
Site owners Hermitage hope to begin construction by 2010, but with this recession stretching into the never-never, who knows?
