Parvis de la Défense, Central square in La Défense district, France

The Parvis de la Défense extends across a vast open space surrounded by modern skyscrapers and contemporary structures in the business district of Paris.

The square emerged during the 1960s transformation of La Défense from industrial land into a contemporary business center outside central Paris.

Multiple art installations and sculptures from renowned artists decorate the square, creating an outdoor exhibition space within the urban environment.

The square connects directly to Paris metro line 1 and RER A stations, providing efficient transportation links to central Paris and suburban areas.

The square offers unobstructed views of the 110-meter-tall Grande Arche, which frames the historical axis extending from the Louvre through the Champs-Élysées.
