For the record, Tour Perret in Amiens is regarded as the oldest actual high-rise building in France.


https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_Perret_(Amiens)

26-storey residential building built from 1949 to 1952.
Spire: 110 m (360 ft).
Roof: 104 m (341).

France was obviously late in that kind of architecture, that's always been controversial in this country.
That tower has nonetheless been listed in the national heritage since 1975.

Handsome tower. Looks taller than the floor count would suggest, given how slender it is.
