La Défense business district in Paris

140 000 people work and 30 000 people live in La Défense, Europe's largest business center with its 80 hectares of skyscrapers a few kilometers West of Paris.

With headquarters of companies such as SFR, IBM, Société Générale, Total, Axa, La Défense is a French and European economic powerhorse.

A pedestrian district with underground car traffic, La Défense offers splendid architecture including the CNIT exhibition center and the  Grande Arche.

Add to it a huge and nice shopping center, Les Quatre Temps, the Dome Imax hemispheric movie theater, many hotels and restaurants, all within walking distance of the RER A La Défense/Grande Arche metro station. La Défense is Paris' district most similar to what we thought the third millenium would be.

Well worth spending a couple of hours of your time or even stay there while you are in Paris for business or tourism (fast transport to many Paris areas with metro line 1 and RER A and trains to Saint-Lazare station).
