Reopening of the roof of the Grande Arche de La Défense

La Grande Arche la Défense est l'un des bâtiments les plus iconiques du quartier de la Défense. Construit à la demande du Président de la République dans les années 1980, la Grande Arche de la Défense est un bâtiment cubique qui prolonge l'axe majeur de Paris, celui des Champs-Elysées.

Imaginé par l'architecte Danois Johan Otto von Spreckelsen (professeur à l'Académie royale des beaux-arts du Danemark), le bâtiment est aujourd'hui accessible en partie au grand public, qui peut apprécier la vu du toit de la Grande Arche !
