The district of Les Halles has always been exceptional: located in the hyper-centre of the capital, including the biggest public transport hub in Europe, inspiring spectacular architectural projects. Le Forum des Halles is undergoing a new birth and the public opening date will be in late 2015. With 75,300 sq m of floorspace, the new Forum des Halles will offer to visitors a light and accessible place with cultural spaces, bars, restaurants and 4-star services. The Forum des Halles will become a living place for shopping. The outstanding canopy designed by Patrick Berger and Jacques Anziutti will allow natural light to flood the spaces and will create a unique atmosphere for leisure, culture and shopping.
