My little trip to Paris - I. La Défense
La Défence is the major business district in Paris. Some people say that here are situated all the buildings the Parisians didn´t want anywhere else. But who knows. You really don´t feel like in Paris, but that shouldn´t be a bad feature of the place. It is so different and unique that it is deffinitely worth visiting.
La Grande Arche
Beside the Grand Arche building on the beginning, this district shows a lot of amazing skyscrapers and just a lot different Paris. It is a working place, not historical or touristic like the most of Paris, but the athmosphere is just unique.
La Grande Arche
The Grand Arche building is a reminiscence of the Arche de Triomphe and it opens the major historical axis of Paris, which can be understood as a contrast, that modern buildings open the historical part of Paris.
La Grande Arche
When you stay under the Grand Arche and the city opens itself under your feet, you can see the Arche de Triomphe in front of you and all the people around, it is simply breathtaking.
