La Défense

I’ve been reminded several times in the last two weeks that’s I’ve never been to La Défense, once while reading about it in a book, while looking through my friend’s recent shots of a trip to Paris on Facebook and on the metro map in the RER on my way to work everyfew days (I get out one stop before it). Since N and I had some business in Paris after work today, we decided to check it out.

La Défense is an enormous business district which sits on the outskirts of Paris/the Hauts-de-Seines department. “So that’s where they’ve put all the high-rises” I thought to myself as we drove it. It is also the home to La Grande Arche (above) and a fantastic mall, where I did in fact buy a beret.

Paris is certainly getting into the holiday spirit, non?
