137 meters, 48 floors, the void just below.
This is not for those who have vertigo and that's good, this is not the case of Louis, window cleaner of Parisian skyscrapers.
The man is a rope access technician and thanks to ultra-solid equipment, he rappels down the Defense 2000 tower. His job is above all a passion: "I do the windows because it is the job where you can find the most vertical height.
And I like to see that, to see the void, to be there, in rope, suspended.
Besides, with the glass, it's a bit like a meditation.
"
Louis will take a little over two hours to finish his work.
Even if the times of his visits are communicated to residents, he shares their daily life through the window.
According to him, being a rope access technician is safe, because there are many safety measures.
And even when the weather is playing tricks on him, Louis keeps his calm: "It happened to me, in this tower, to be going down and, halfway, the wind started to blow and made me turn.
I walked around the tower a bit.
It was fun, I had a good laugh.
