A lot of tourists like to stay in hotels near
Les Halles thanks to its proximity to other major attractions and transport
links. With its own metro station and overground railway station, Les Halles is
a popular area of Paris, centrally located in the capital’s first
arrondissement. Les Halles is named after a large wholesale marketplace that used
to be the central feature of the area. However, this was destroyed in 1971 and
replaced with an underground modern shopping area known as Forum des Halles.
Les Halles is especially known for its open-air centre that sits just below
street level. It contains various magnificent sculptures, fountains and mosaics
for the tourists and shoppers to admire as they pass through Les Halles.
Beneath this center lies an underground station, Châtelet-Les-Halles, which is
the central hub of Paris's express urban rail system, the RER.
Historically an area associated with
antisocial activities, Les Halles has more recently resolved its problems and
is now a much safer and more pleasant place to visit, even after dark. The
open-air centre, with its wonderful artistic representations, can be enjoyed by
anyone who wishes to visit there. The underground station is also a great place
to travel to and from any other area in Paris and is a great place to begin
your travel for the day. The impressive Église Saint-Eustache, the Bourse du
Commerce and Musée Grévin all surround the sunken garden, and major attractions
such as the Louvre and Centre Georges Pompidou are just a few minutes’ walk
away.
