La Défense

The area immediately to the north-west of Paris, developed as a modern business and residential area from the 1960s to the 1980s. Its biggest attraction is the Grande arche de la Défense, an enormous archway erected in 1989 to mark the bicentenary of the Revolution. It is also an architectural throwback to the Arc de Triomphe which, together with the Obélisque in the Place de la Concorde, can be seen from the vantage point of the steps leading up to the Grande arche itself.
