La Defense

I would tell people who plan to visit La Défense to realise that the underground ticket when traveling from Paris since the Défense area despite its proximity to the Arc de Triomphe belongs to the Metro zone 3 which means that the ticket is more expensive than that of the zone 1 of Paris. Do not try to cheat the monitoring station there is tight control of passage, if you have paid the wrong amount there is a fine of 30 euros per person and you will not receive kind treatment. Thanks!

La Défense is a modern business district in west Paris and part of the historical area created by the Louvre, Champs Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, Neuilly Bridge, and the Grande Arche. The district is mainly composed of skyscrapers which surround a huge square where the Grande Arche is located. The Grande Arche in and of itself is worth the visit.
