'''Front de Seine''' is a development in the district of '''Beaugrenelle''' in [[Paris]], [[France]], located along the river [[Seine]] in the [[15th arrondissement of Paris|15th arrondissement]] at the south of the [[Eiffel Tower]].<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.britannica.com/place/Front-de-Seine | title=Front de Seine | work=[[Encyclopædia Britannica]] | accessdate=23 December 2015 }}</ref> It is, with the [[13th arrondissement of Paris|13th arrondissement]], one of the few districts in the city of Paris containing [[highrise]] buildings, as most have been constructed outside the city (notably in [[La Défense]]).
 
The Front de Seine district is the result of an [[urban planning]] project from the 1970s.<ref>{{in lang|fr}} [http://www.parisfrontdeseine.fr/le_front_de_seine_accueil.php parisfrontdeseine.fr]</ref> It includes about 20 towers reaching nearly 100 m of height built all around an elevated esplanade. That esplanade is paved with [[fresco]]s that can be seen only from the elevated floors of the towers. As opposed to [[Italie 13]], the design of the towers is much more varied. The [[Hôtel Novotel Paris-Tour Eiffel]] (formerly known as Hôtel Nikkō), for instance, has red-encircled windows,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150513042256/http://www.emporis.com/buildings/110342/hotel-novotel-paris-tour-eiffel-paris-france emporis.com/buildings]</ref> while the [[Tour Totem]] consists of a stack of several glazed blocks.
A newly redesigned [[shopping centre]], the [[Centre commercial Beaugrenelle]] opened in 2013.<ref>[http://www.outandaboutinparis.com/2013/10/beaugrenelle-paris-newest-shopping.html outandaboutinparis.com]</ref><ref>[http://en.parisinfo.com/shopping-paris/105695/Centre-Beaugrenelle-Paris parisinfo.com]</ref>
