Skyscraper City - Paris 4K - Driving Downtown
Friday afternoon drive into the stunning skyscraper district of Paris! Europe's largest purpose-built business district, La Defense, has 72 glass and steel buildings, 220 stores, 48 restaurants, 25,000 permanent residents, and 45,000 students. A great place to see when you visit Paris just 3 miles or 5 kilometers from the tourist district! Video starts on the Champs-Élysées facing the Arc de Triomphe and continues straight into LA Defense. Hope you enjoy it and have a great weekend!

La Défense is a major business district located 3 kilometres west of the city limits of Paris. Europe's largest purpose-built business district, covering 560 hectares (1,400 acres), for 180,000 daily workers, with 72 glass and steel buildings (of which 19 are completed skyscrapers), and 3,500,000 square metres (38,000,000 sq ft) of office space. Around its Grande Arche and esplanade ("le Parvis"), La Défense contains many of the Paris urban area's tallest high-rises. Les Quatre Temps, a large shopping mall in La Défense, has 220 stores, 48 restaurants and a 24-screen movie theatre.

Paris is the capital and most populous city of France. Since the 17th century, Paris has been one of the world's major centers of finance, diplomacy, commerce, fashion, gastronomy, science, and arts. The Paris Region had a GDP of €709 billion ($808 billion) in 2017. In 2021 Paris was the city with the second-highest cost of living in the world, tied with Singapore, and after Tel Aviv.
Tourism recovered in the Paris region in 2021, increasing to 22.6 million visitors, thirty percent more than in 2020, but still well below 2019 levels. The number of visitors from the United States increased by 237 percent over 2020.
Tourism in Paris is a major income source. Paris received 12.6 million visitors in 2020, measured by hotel stays, a drop of 73 percent from 2019. The number of foreign visitors declined by 80.7 percent. Museums re-opened in 2021, with limitations on the number of visitors at a time and a requirement that visitors wear masks.
In 2018, 17.95 million international, overnighting tourists visited the city, mainly for sightseeing and shopping (and estimated to be well over double if including domestic overnighting visitors). Top sights include Notre Dame (12 million visitors in 2017), Disneyland Paris (11), Sacre Cœur (10), the Versailles Palace (7.7), the Louvre Museum (6.9), the Eiffel Tower (5.9), Centre Pompidou (3.33), and the Musée d'Orsay (3 million). The largest numbers of foreign tourists who come to the Paris region are British, American, German, Italian, Chinese, and Canadian.

We went to Defence few years back when we visited Paris. Such a contrast with the old city. Although, living in Toronto now, I much prefer the old charm and architecture of Paris.
To complete this beautiful video, it's important to specify that what is called "downtown" in this video, is not really located in Paris. This business district called "La Défense" is located in the western outskirts of Paris, mainly in the towns of "Nanterre" and "Puteaux". Like in many European cities, there's a desire to not mix (or as little as possible) historic architecture with modern architecture. However, because European cities are smaller than American ones, it's accepted that these business centers are part of the city they are supposed to serve. So, even in France we speak of the district of "La Défense" as being located in Paris. (It's not like it's located 60 km/40 miles away)

@@thibault4211 France has 35,000 communes, while countries such as Germany, Italy or Spain only have only 8,000. So yeah, communes are territorially smaller units in France than in the rest of Europe, which doesn't mean that urban areas are smaller. From the commune of Paris to the business district of La Défense, you stay in a very densely built-up area, you don't really leave the "city" in that sense. In the US, a "city" generally refers to everything in the metropolitan area up to 50 km away from the center.

Thank you for making this video. I would not visit Paris to see this part of it. It could be anywhere in the world. The buildings are simply big, tall glass boxes devoid of style and charm. I noticed that there are few people walking around in this area, probably because it’s not built at a human scale. This is not the type of architecture that feels inviting. It is meant to impress but nothing more. Not Paris’ finest.

I really wish I had gotten to see more of France than I did. My iPhone got stolen on the second day there, and having to deal with the Paris Apple Store employees just put me off the rest of the trip. They're bad enough in the States; the French ones were enough to drive a person homicidal. Which is a real shame, because I'm really a fan of European architecture, and Paris seems to have the best of it. Hopefully my next trip there will be better. Quite frankly, it couldn't be worse... But enough of me nattering on. I think I'll just enjoy the video. Another excellent job.
