A very nice Hugo Boss store in La Defense, Paris.

The staff seemed friendly and had good product knowledge. Prices were also reasonable without a huge difference compared to back home in the UK. The store had a good feel to it, especially for a mall location but again this is typical and Hugo Boss normally do a good job to make any given unit really feel theirs. 4* - Very good store, it is just a shame the selection wasn't as good for long-sleeve shirts and jackets, which I normally like to wear.

Great modern mall in the La Defense area of Paris. Located very close to public transportation,…read morethis mall offers a variety of upscale as well as on a budget shopping. And it is open on Sundays, the only mall open on Sundays in Paris. During my visit the summer sale started so you can get French designer clothes for a lot less during the end of June until early August. Lots of places to eat very conveniently located accord from Hilton La Defense.

GREAT mall to shop at in Paris! It's actually called Les Quatre Temps, but I guess somebody named…read moreit this as the short version. Quatre in French means 4 so whatevs. LOL While out shopping at Zara in another part of Paris, a local Parisian put me onto this mall and I am truly grateful she did! Fab stores at affordable prices. Be sure to check out New Look, Pull & Bear, UNIQLO, Aldo, Zara, & H&M. Stop over at Vapiana for some good pizza on the top floor as well.

We have been shopping a bunch in Paris and well, what better place in the world to go consignment…read moreshopping? Why pay full price when you're in the best city in the world for shopping? There are so many beautiful items in this store! Dominique is super sweet. We were able to pick up a pair of chanel earrings and a medium sized lady dior. The store has offerings at about 60% off retail. The only downsize is no tax rebate, but you're still saving a lot!

CNIT is a pretty cool place, it has a few stores including a large Monoprix featuring a cafe, it is…read morealso home to a Hilton Hotel, located in the Puteaux/La Defense region of Paris, close to the metro and bus interchange. Inside, it is bright and has a nice, new, modern feel to it, while the selection of shops is okay, the giant square featuring Grande Arche and the Westfield Les 4 Temps across the way, one of my favourite malls worldwide makes it better. CNIT stans for Centre of New Industries and Technologies, it was one of the first buildings in La Defense which are the business area of Paris, I like to think of it as a Parisian Canary Wharf. I did find the lifts a little confusing and difficult to navigate at first. I did find the loud construction noises throughout during the daytime to be offputting, I get they have to do it sometime and it can be difficult with a hotel, but it just felt a little uncomfortable. The place is weird overall from having offices to shops and hotels, it isn't' HUGE but is a decent size, perhaps they're doing too much? 3* - A really nice building featuring some useful locations from Nespresso to Monoprix, and even a Hilton in a nice part of the city but it's only the start of your La Defense journey.

Weird place. Offices and retail businesses all tossed into one huge structure, right along with…read morebeing connected to the RER train station and the Metro subway station. They have free wifi, so the French employees don't even have to report to their offices to work. They just congregate at one of the coffee shops and then move to the next coffee shop where they can continue their social time - which by the way lasts until lunch when they go somewhere else to avoid their office. After a two hour lunch, they might just take the metro or train home, because they do have a grueling 30 hour work week to fake so that they can earn their 16 weeks vacation time. Thank god for socialism, because these overwrought employees only have to do this for 20 years before they get 100% pensions. Whew! what a relief. Here is a typical French employee, doing absolutely nothing - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cnit-puteaux?select=KvOei8a9yRjFgyutlZ-xNg#8ZhT5eGOQO62p9545gRYfA All dressed up, but sitting on his ass for hours. Please notice the offices overhead - empty in the middle of the morning.
