Audio Guide 

The area known as les Halles is the square formed by Rue de Rivoli, Boulevard Sébastopol, Rue Etienne Marcel and Rue du Louvre. The Halles used to be a huge fruit and meat market, and was called the "belly of Paris" by writer Emile Zola. Today, it has become one of the biggest underground shopping areas in the French capital (the Forum des Halles). This huge shopping arcade offers a selection of shops catering to a young and mixed crowd, as well as cinemas and a swimming pool. A few streets away lies the Centre Georges Pompidou cultural center. And, all around this commercial center, there are hundreds of cafés and boutiques selling clothes, accessories, interior design and funky gifts. Les Halles, in the very heart of Paris, practically overflows with cafés and boutiques. With 5 metro lines (1,4,7,11,14) and 3 RER lines (A,B,D) giving direct access to the center, every Parisian can get here in just a few minutes. Metro: Châtelet, Les Halles. RER: Châtelet Les Halles.
