A Potain MDT 178 is working on the visitor center expansion at the Château de Chambord in Loire Valley, France.

French construction company Foucher Fournier put a Potain MDT 178 tower crane to work outside the Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley, France.

The flat top crane was chosen to help build a new welcome center for tourists visiting the castle and the surrounding parkland.

The MDT 178 is owned by French crane dealer VALEM which operates in central and south east France. The job runs for three months.
