La Halle Freyssinet is a three hundred and ten meter long concrete shell that stretches across the landscape of the thirteenth arrondissement. Built between nineteen twenty-seven and nineteen twenty-nine, it was designed by the engineer Eugène Freyssinet as a freight station for the Paris-Orléans railway company. The structure is recognized for its three parallel naves of thin-shell concrete, which reach less than five centimeters in thickness at the roof ridge.
