This afternoon we are walking in Châtelet / Forum des Halles! Formerly a huge fresh produce wholesale market, these halls were destroyed in the 1970s to make way for the Forum des Halles about ten years later. New works took place in 2011 to deliver a new shopping centre, the canopy and the Nelson Mandela Garden.
The Forum des Halles shelters UGC Cine City, it is the largest cinema in France by number of rooms. It serves as reference to film pros to find out if a film is doing well or not thanks to an indicator called “9h des Halles”, it corresponds to the number of admissions during the first screening on Wednesday, the day the films are released!
We go around the shops, restaurants, cinema, conservatory and swimming pool by sharing our good addresses with you!
