During construction, the tower was very popular as it became a symbol of the new modern Paris. This changed however when the 211 meters tall Tour Montparnasse was completed. The 58 floors of the tower are mainly occupied by offices, while two floors are open to the public for viewing the city; the 56th floor with a restaurant, and the terrace on the top floor.
