Hiking
The Grande Arche, inaugurated in 1989, is an emblematic monument in the La Défense business district near Paris. Designed by architect Johan Otto von Spreckelsen, it stands 110 meters high. The Grande Arche houses offices, exhibition spaces and offers a panoramic terrace with a spectacular view of the historic axis of Paris, linking the Louvre to La Défense.

Hiking
The La Defense office district with the Grande Arche was built as an architectural masterpiece on the extension of the Champs d'Elysee. Well worth seeing, especially during the week when it is full here.
