Il y a quand même pas mal d'immeubles très laids à la Défense qui gâchent considérablement la skyline.

The Shard is beautiful and London's skyline is growing, but La Defense still wins it for me, at least for now. In 10 years time, maybe London's skyline will be bigger.

I like both London and Paris equally though. Both are my favourite cities on Earth

thank you, but london skyline is very big and spread out as it is one of mega cities on earth. the skyscrapers in london are much taller and they are architecturally superior compared to the ones in paris. both skylines are good in their own ways though.

Encore un gentil crétin qui nous fait sa propagande.

Pour y avoir vécu, je confirme que les anglais (disons surtout les londoniens en l'occurrence), ont la palme d'or du nationalisme exacerbé...les français sont aussi chauvins mais ils n'arrivent vraiment pas à la cheville des britanniques.

C'est pathétique mais aussi plutôt drôle faut bien le reconnaître.

C'est pathétique. Pas drôle du tout.

Je suis chauvin aussi mais je n'oserais jamais comparer La Défense avec Manhattan ou Shinjuku.
Pour moi La Défense est vraiment ridicule comparé à New York, Tokyo, etc...

je sais pas ce qu'ils fument à Londres, mais c'est de la bonne faudrait déjà que la Skyline londonienne égale Francfort ou Paris avant de penser HK ou NY

Certes il exagère un peu, mais il faut quand même admettre que la skyline de Londres (en terme de jolies tours) ne se limite pas à la City, elle a une véritable profondeur et profite en outre d'une belle mise en scène depuis la Tamise ... A Paris il est par exemple difficile de voir la défense depuis la Seine ... certes on y voit FdS et bien sur l'iconique Tour Eiffel, mais la présence de belles tours y demeure rare ... et puis Paris n'a pas vraiment d’intérêt à planter des tours le long de la Seine ...

SO143, your dedication to posting and updating London projects is appreciated, but try considering a bit of self-deprecation. Continual bluster re London is tedious and uncool (it also smacks of insecurity).
