Centre des nouvelles industries et technologies

The Center of New Industries and Technologies (better known as the CNIT) is one of the first buildings built in La Défense in Paris. It functions as a palace for the French Congress, though it also houses the main offices such as that of FNAC, a convenience store found throughout Paris, as well as the Hilton hotel.

The initial construction of the building took place between 1956 and 1958. Its architects were Robert Edouard Camelot, Jean de Mailly, Bernard Louis Zehrfuss accompanied by the engineer Jean Prouvé for the exterior.
