La Defence 
Description
The area of La Defence is the main "skyscraper" quarter of the city with may major French companies housing major offices here. La Defence lies at the end of a direct avenue that starts at Concorde goes through the Arc de Triomph to the grand arch here. You can look straight down the avenue and get stunning clear views down to the Arc. The Arch can be visited with a panoramic viewing gallery and museums, though at the time of my visit it was not possible to go up the arch as the lifts were out of order due to a technical default (the layers of dust suggest that this may have been going on for some time)
Charge
Free to look around, charge to go up the arch should it re-open
