Overview
The French central market had to be torn down and moved out of Paris in the sixties. It was then completely restored and is now a modern shopping complex center in the form
of a garden and a merry-go-round. Nearby is the George Pompidou Center, housing modern art. The old and the new of Les Halles are in constant contrast as the Stravinsky water pond with mobiles created by Nicky de St Phalle and Tinguely has a background of the gothic church of Saint-Merry. One could either walk the chic Faubourg Saint-Honoré with the high fashion designer boutiques and/or walk the market street of rue Montorgeuil with its cafés and food stalls.
