And it is good that people who aren't that wealthy can find affordable accommodating there. Still the architecture is not for me, especially in comparison to the ultra beautiful and romantic architecture in the center of Paris. <br />Warm regards, <br />Christina organicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-8389618566422901062016-12-04T16:50:46.170+00:002016-12-04T16:50:46.170+00:00La Defense isn't my kind of place at all, but ...La Defense isn't my kind of place at all, but it is fascinating to see it through your terrific selection of photos.

Modern buildings reflect beauty in geometric simplicity rather than ornate. In this district, the jungle of steel, concrete, and glass look existing exclusively.
