La Defense, Paris

Well..the name suggests what the place stands for. The French built this huge structure as the line of defense in waging wars. While you are in La Defense,you would be able to see the Arc de la Triomp (the arch of victory) straight at some distance. Indeed its a sight of pride, as according to history, the army marched from La Defense to Arch de la Triomp celebrating all the way.

Today, La Defense is a commercial centre with national and international corporate offices and it represents the 'New Paris'.
