Paris: A carousel at La Defense

Our last day in Paris, so back on the Champs Elysee, past MacDonalds which is called to McCafe, and then onto the Central Business District of Paris called La Defense. Just one tube stop away, it's a complete contrast to the rest of the Paris Tourist scene. From the Louvre we saw Place de la Concorde, Arc de Triomphe and La Defense, and this time we were looking at it from the other direction. The arch is absolutely huge, and ironically is the place of the French equivilent of the Environment Agency who I've worked with in the past. What I did find quite odd though was the carosel in the middle of such a business area, do people have a go at lunchtime? We walked around the area, looking at the modern art and then back to central Paris and the Eurostar home.
