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
