History

In July 2017, Total chose the Link Tower to host its new headquarters. Between 5,500 and 6,000 employees, previously distributed in Tour Coupole and in Tour Michelet, will be grouped together in this new skyscraper.[3]

On Thursday 11 June 2020,[4] Groupama announced the start of The Link project with the destruction of the existing building in the area, which will be followed in 2021 by the construction itself.[5]
