The former transatlantic ferry terminal is France's largest Art Deco monument. It was built by René Levavasseur from 1928, in collaboration with engineers Chalos and Fleury, using reinforced concrete, light-colored bricks and concrete stones imitating granite. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Cit%C3%A9_de_la_Mer
