(Last Update: 04.09.2024) When I first came to Paris as a tourist years ago, the thing I wanted to do most, apart from the dream of enjoying the streets of Paris and participating in life, was to see this huge structure in La Défense, known as La Grande Arche de La Défense. In fact, seeing this place was more important to me than the Eiffel Tower or the Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum.
