Travel - France - Paris Part #2 - La Défense
When you think about the historic Paris, the city of love, you don't really think there is anything modern about it. Right? On our trip to Paris we decided to go and take a look at the major business district of Paris, called La Défense.
According to Wikipedia, La Défense is Europe's largest purpose-built business district. It covers 560 hectares, about 72 glass & steel buildings, 180 000 daily workers, and 3500,000 square meters of office space!
The Grande Arche is fairly impressive and we ate at the fanciest Mc Donald's I've ever been to. Even though I enjoy the old-school European architecture a lot more, it was interesting to explore something else for a change.
Tell me what you think and stay tuned for more!

france is considered the most beautiful place in the world
Not sure about the most beautiful, but surely up there with the best. ;)
Every capital wants to have a business district with some skyscrapers ;))
Good thing about La Defense - it doens't ruin the classical image of Paris.
Agreed...

thanks for sharing, I hadn't heard of that particular area before, and it's not what I'd normally picture when thinking of the city. 🌇 I'm surprised that it doesn't seem that crowded?
We also only found about about La Defence when we were in Paris. It is really super spacious, so it would take a lot of people to make it feel crowded. We did visit the area on a Sunday, which might contribute to the deserted looking photos. ;)
City of love with awesome architectural design! :)
Thank you @extremejogging for bringing to Paris us through your photos.
Glad you like it. ;)
