Les Halles (French pronunciation: [le al]; 'The Halls') was Paris' central fresh food market. It last operated on 12 January 1973[1] and was replaced by an underground shopping centre and a park. The unpopular modernist development was demolished yet again in 2010, and replaced by the Westfield Forum des Halles, a modern shopping mall built largely underground and topped by an undulating 2.5 hectare canopy. The mall sees around 50 million visitors every year,[2] making it the busiest in France as of 2019.[3] It is directly connected to the massive RER and métro transit hub of Châtelet–Les Halles, Paris's busiest station.
