Hôtel de ville

Also known as Beaubourg, this museum is home to Europe's finest collection of modern art. And because the contemporary art world never stops moving, the Pompidou Center is there to keep pace with everything it does.

You’ll immediately notice that the complex of red brick buildings with slate roofs make this public square unlike any other in Paris. Square Louis XIII in the middle is a perfect spot to take a breather as you explore the city.

Place de l’Hôtel de Ville is your jump-off point for visits to the Marais, the Pompidou Center and rue de Rivoli, plus in the wintertime, you can go ice skating in the huge rink installed outside. Not to mention Paris City Hall, which is also worth a visit.

BHV stands for “Bazar de l’Hôtel de Ville” (city hall department store) This place has absolutely everything, from housewares and decorative objects to necessities for improving your home, repairing a bike, mastering your culinary skills, and updating your wardrobe.

Forum des Halles was completely renovated into an ultra-modern shopping center that opens on to the city. It boasts 150 stores under a canopied ceiling of glass and metal.

This is one of the main streets in the Jewish quarter of Paris as well as the Marais district's busiest commercial area. A visit to this part of town is a must for fashion fans.

A neighborhood that feels like its own village, where the action never stops. Perfect for taking a shopping detour on rue des Francs Bourgeois, browsing the art galleries or having a casual drink at any time of day.
