Standing at the crossroads of the Rue des Fontaines and Avenue du Général de Gaulle, in the Les Rosiers district of Puteaux, you are right in front of the Résidence du Carré Vert. This modern residential building, constructed around 1990, is an impressive sight, reaching a height of about 44.5 meters. The name ‘Carré Vert’ translates to ‘Green Square’ and it’s believed to refer to the location’s proximity to a nearby park, perhaps a little patch of greenery in a largely urban environment. The building stands as a testament to the French architectural style of the late 20th century, characterized by its functional yet aesthetically pleasing design. It has 13 levels, housing numerous apartments, and its presence has helped shape the vibrant atmosphere of this bustling neighborhood. The Carré Vert is more than just a place to live; it’s a symbol of modern urban living, contributing to the vibrant tapestry of Puteaux.
