The stores are nice (I bought some really nice shoes). I guess being from North America, it was interesting to see what a mall in Paris is like. It's easy to get lost, the plan is not intuitive. I did not feel the safety was an issue at all.

The underground shopping mall and surrounding streets offer just about averything one might need (shops, restaurants, a large cinema, convenient transport links)... However, the whole area is crowded, run-down, and not very safe at night. On a Saturday night, I even witnessed a gang fight at one of the mall's entrances... scary. Also, it's easy to get lost in the...

Les Halles is this funky area of the city, were you can feel the multicultural vibe everywhere.
It's cool just to hang there, maybe stop for a coffee, or an icecream.
There's also the Halles Mall, obviously in the same area, with some really nice shops, for example, Maisons du Mounde, a decoration shop with really cool and original pieces....

I couldn't agree more with the prior review. This is definitely a place to be avoided. My husband and I went to the Les Halles last week while in Paris because we were hoping the tide might have turned and the complex would have been nicer. We were wrong. It's just a bunch of little shops in a shopping complex...

I am an English student working in Paris for a year and I can safely say try your best to avoid this area...especially if blonde or you look like a tourist! There are a lot of gangs in this area, especially on Saturdays and I have been followed on numerous occasions. This seems to be where all the banlieue kids...

There is a myriad of ethnic cuisines in Les Halle Forum area, and you can even learn to dance the salsa while waiting for your meal at one South American place. I was there for a week in April this year (2007). From a "real" French place, I ordered a dish that was called something like "porc ailemenatree" and the...
