THE DISTRICT / Chatelet les Halles
This district is, with the “Ile de la Cité”, the oldest district of the capital with most historical past. Served by the biggest subway station of Europe, it is currently one of the most popular and most attended places of Paris. Inside the old Halles of Paris, it hosts in its sub-soil a major trading center and much cultural and sporting equipment, known as the Forum des Halles.
Not far away rises the National Center of Art and Culture Georges Pompidou, cultural institution dedicated to the original modern and contemporary creation.
