Shopping : Best of the City
Forum des Halles
1-7, rue Lescot, Paris 75001 01 44 76 96 56
Description:
1er ARRONDISSEMENT. Formerly the site of Paris's large, venerable food market – which was moved out of the city proper in 1969 – this shopping center filled the gaping retail void. However, its shops and boutiques were built underground, leaving the surface to be developed as a public park. The busy mall, adjacent to a Metro and RER train station, pulls in lots of shoppers and is an especially good source of clothing. Although the complex can be a bit utilitarian, it serves a useful role in city life. METRO: Châtelet-Les Halles Hours: Shops Mon-Sat 10am-8pm Bars & restaurants Mon-Sat 10am-10pm
