Forum des Halles

Paris (1)
Underground/RER: Les Halles

On the spot of the old market halls, the belly of the earth was ripped open in the seventies. A hypermodern shopping centre was constructed, with restaurants, boutiques, cultural institutions, discotheques, a museum, an indoor swimming pool, a tropical glasshouse and several cinemas. Under this complex of mirror glass buildings lies Europe’s biggest underground station.
