Tour First is a 231-meter, 52-story office skyscraper at 1 Place des Saisons in the La Defense business district of Courbevoie, France. Originally built in 1974 to a design by Michel Stenzel, Pierre Dufau, and Jean-Pierre Dacbert, it was completely rebuilt and heightened between 2007 and 2011 by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates with SRA Architects, emerging with an entirely new exterior. From 2011 until 2025 it was the tallest skyscraper in France, and it remains the country's second-tallest structure after the Eiffel Tower. Its facade lighting changes color to indicate the day's weather forecast.
