Rue Pierre Lescot - Tel: 01-4476 9656 The largest Paris shopping venue is Le Forum des Halles which was at one time the central market of Paris. This rather large underground Paris shopping mall has hundreds of shops, various excellent food and beverage outlets and a world class cinema. Le Forum des Halles in Paris is open from Monday through Saturday from 10:00 until 19:30. It is named for the large central wholesale marketplace, which was demolished in 1971 and relocated to Rungis, to be replaced with an underground modern shopping precinct, the Forum des Halles. A special feature of interest is that the open air center area is below street level, like a pit. Beneath this lies the underground station Chatelet-Les-Halles, central hub of Paris's express metro system, the RER.
