Sorry Dariush but you're wrong.
In La Défense, oldest buildings like the CNIT (the white building just visible
in the lower left corner of my picture) date from 1958. Many were built in the
late '60 and in the '70. The Areva tower, where I used to work, dates precisely
from 1974, so you should have seen it (or at least partially constructed) if you
had ventured in this neighborhood.
