Description
La Defense is Europe largest purpose built business district with its five million square meters area, its 72 glass and steel buildings and skyscrapers, its 180,000 daily workers, and 3.5 million square meters of office space.
Around its Grande Arche and esplanade, La Defense contains many of the Paris urban area's tallest high rises, and is home to more than thousand corporate head offices, including the top 50 companies in the world.
The district is located at the western extremity of the ten kilometer long historical axis of Paris, which starts at the Louvre in Central Paris, and continues along the Champs Elysees, well beyond the Arc de Triomphe before culminating at La Defense.
The district is centered in an orbital motorway straddling the Hauts de Seine department municipalities of Courbevoie, Nanterre and Puteaux.
La Defense is primarily a business district, and hosts a population of more than 20000 permanent residents and 45000 students.
La Defense is also visited by eight million tourists each year, and houses an open air museum.
