When many travelers think of Paris, they think of the Eiffel Tower or the Arc de Triomphe, but there is a very modern part of Paris that many people miss, La Défense. As with all things Parisian, it is done with style. Many geometric shapes, not always resembling buildings as we usually think of them, almost Orwellian in feel. Love it or hate it, it makes a statement that you will remember
"Paris remained Paris inspite of change"
Henry Adams, 1906
