Pompidou Centre

The Pompidou Centre

This is a great example of state of the art architecture, which confounds beyond Paris as it is home to the largest modern art museum in Europe, standing as a great modern attraction.

Stade de France

This stadium is a modern attraction that was built specifically for the world cup in 2002 and is the height of modern stadia. You can visit here to take a tour, admire the size and design of it or to take in one of the many world-class sporting events and concerts which take place here.

Grande Arche de la Defense

This is yet another modern attraction in Paris, and a cousin of L’Arc De Triomphe which is also found in the city. It was built in the 1980s and is similar in size to its historical relative. It’s located within a modern business park but also has luscious greenery from which you can admire this feat of architecture.

Les Halles

Last but not least in our list of 5 modern attractions in Paris is this huge shopping mall in the centre of the city – Les Halles, which is home to hundreds of shops, cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues varying in size and nature.
