Located on the West side of the outskirts of Paris, La Defense is the modern high-rise and office-tower district of Paris. It is easily accessible with the line 1 of the metro. The symbol of the area is the Grande Arche de la Defense : a high-rise building that looks like an arch.

The Hauts-de-Seine Department also includes more residential areas, such as Saint-Cloud, which are pleasant if you are looking for an apartment rental, which is close to Paris and can be reached by bus, metro or train.
