Sixteen-story residential tower completed in 1969 as part of the Grand Ensemble de Beauval, the priority urbanization zone designed by urban planner Marcel Lods and his project manager Henri Beauclair — on a site where a radiant city project by Le Corbusier was abandoned after five years of negotiations. Its three-branch shape at 120 degrees earned it the nickname tripode, while its architect preferred to refer to it as a caravelle. It comprised 169 housing units and was razed on September 29, 2019, as part of the urban renewal of the area.
The scene : Rallying point of the neighborhood in the film: the different groups of characters converge at the foot of this sixteen-story tower resting on three branches, and it is there that their love stories as well as their confrontations unfold.
Fontenay-sous-Bois, France
The scene : It is in this municipality of Val-de-Marne, in the company of the rap duo 2Bal 2Neg', that the very first scene of the film was shot.
