"Les Mercuriales" are twin towers in Bagnolet, along the "Boulevard Périphérique" in Paris, France. They were built in 1975 and are named "Levant" (Eastern) and "Ponant" (Western).
These towers were part of a larger project in the business district of eastern Paris designed to rebalance the western district "La Défense". This project was interrupted by the first oil crisis leaving the isolated towers on the A3 motorway interchange.
The architecture of the towers was inspired by the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.
Architects : Serge Lana and Alfred H. Milh
