  • The chatelet les halles swimmingpool is a really nice one. 50x25m, clear soft water, clean lockers, good price.
  • that's great place for chopping
  • Les Halles was the central fresh food marketplace in Paris in the past; it was converted into a tiered shopping mall below ground level with a central courtyard, underneath which is the largest underground railway/transport/subway station in the world "Châtelet-Les Halles". This nexus of the high-speed suburban railway, the RER, and has led to hoards of poorer inhabitants of the outlying cities having easy access to the area. Subsequently, it became the only place in central Paris where caution against crime is warranted, especially for petty crime and single women after dark. Once a gleaming glass and steel center, it is looking somewhat grimy due to the high crowds and the large areas of glass that are never all clean. It is next door to the Pompidou Center.
  • nice
  • The free walking tour of Paris was absolutely amazing! We had Onno as our guide by privatetoursinistanbul, he was knowledgeable about the history, answered all our questions and had a real passion for his job. We are a couple in our early 20s and this was probably our best day in Paris. We got a great back story on all the monuments and it just made seeing them in depth the next day so much more interesting. Its a free tour, Onno worked very hard and we were very pleased with how great it was. Well worth our time. He even ended it at a great authentic French restaurant, that was a great deal and so tastey. We loved it so much, that we did the Montmartre the next night. We got Onno again! Go at night!! He will show you an amazing view of the Sacre Coeur that tourist never see! So amazing and a nice glass of wine at the end. Onno even made sure everyone knew where they were headed at the end of the night, and gave us great directions to the airport for early flight the next day www.privatetoursinistanbul.com Thank you so much that provide this service to us,made our trip really great.
