Les châteaux d'eau de Philolaos

In the Parc Jean-Perdrix, the two spiral-shaped towers twist in on themselves, rising to heights of over 50 metres. They offer a moving, ever-changing spectacle to visitors as they make their way around.

The largest reservoir contains 1990 m3 or almost 2 tonnes of water, stored at the top.

This sculpture-architecture is the result of a meeting between architect André Gomis and Greek sculptor Philolaos. A masterpiece of urban art from the early 1970s, it is classified as "remarkable contemporary architecture" and has been awarded the "Patrimoine du XXe siècle" label.
