Top Spots to Visit in La Defense Economic Area of Paris!

Dreaming of a modern Parisian experience? Here’s my quick-hit guide to exploring Puteaux, Hauts-de-Seine, and Courbevoie—think giant sculptures, urban art, and wide-open plazas! 🏙️

Top Spots to Visit:

1. La Défense
This futuristic district is the business heart of Paris, surrounded by soaring architecture—Instagram heaven! Open all day, year-round, so stroll whenever the mood hits.

2. Parvis de la Défense
Located at Parv. de l'arche, 92800 Puteaux, this vast pedestrian plaza is perfect for people-watching or snapping shots of La Grande Arche. Wide open 24/7—sunrise or sunset, your choice!

3. Zoo Art Show Paris la Défense
Craving some edgy art? Head to 4 Pl. de la Défense (hours vary, but usually 10:00–18:00 most days; see above for details). The pop-up exhibitions are wild and creative—bring an open mind!

4. Fontaine d'Agam
Over at 86 Espl. du Général de Gaulle, Courbevoie, this vibrant fountain is a visual treat with its rainbow-colored pillars. Great for a quick photo op anytime—it's open all day!

Pro Tips:
La Défense is super pedestrian friendly—bring comfy shoes, as you’ll cover lots of ground! Metro Line 1 takes you straight to La Défense. For food, check out local bistros near Parvis de la Défense for croissants or grab lunch at one of the cafés in the shopping malls for both variety and shelter if it rains.

Don’t forget: Weather can be breezy—carry a light jacket. Most spots are free or budget-friendly, and public art is everywhere, so keep your camera ready.
