Westfield Forum des Halles

Large shopping mall in the middle of Paris accessible via metro. Clothing, home decor, coffe shop and electronics stores. Use cash or credit card to pay for use of public toilet €1

One of the biggest shopping malls I have visited and have a unique and beautiful structure as they have an open outdoor stage-type space that goes down to 3rd level underground. Hip area for young people.

There’s a hidden gem A legit Hakata Japanese restaurant Amon here. It gets quite crowded sometimes for the area

Nice shopping center here, just in the middle of Paris. There are many shops and the place is nice. On the tops have many restaurants around. There are also the cinema here. It is very convenient to come because there are many trains connected here at the station Châtelet-Les Halles.

Westfield Forum des Halles in Paris is a vast, modern shopping hub with a stunning glass canopy flooded with natural light. Connected directly to the city’s busiest transit station, it offers diverse shops, trendy dining, a cinema, and cultural spaces, making it a lively urban retail and leisure destination.

🛍️ Wow wow wow what a shopping center in the middle of Paris. After London we thought that no shopping center would top this, but this branch is huge with all the brands you know. Lots of options for eating and drinking from all over the world. What I personally think is great is that there is a metro connection (public transport). What I also thought was great is that there were enough parking spaces and you didn't have to queue. Parking wasn't expensive by Paris standards either. 📣 If you like my reviews, I would be happy about a LIKE below and to follow me on Google Maps for more interesting reviews just click on my profile photo above + then on the FOLLOW button under my username Hakobert please :)

Westfield Forum des Halles in Paris is a huge, modern mall with everything you could ask for. A great spot for shopping, or just spending some time

An interesting place to walk around and get out of the sun for a bit. Had publicly accessible restrooms for a small fee.

What a huge mall underground! There's shop after shop after shop from Zara to H&M. There are restrooms that cost one Euro on the bottom level.

Worst mall experience ever. Confusing, hot, swarms of people. Incredibly noisy. Bathrooms were very clean and quiet. But that's it.

Located within walking distance of the Louvre, the Westfield Forum is built on the site of the Halls old french fresh market. It is now an indoor mall, mostly underground, with the typical clothing stores found in any mall. It is connected to a busy Metro line, so has easy access from around the city. Decided to stop by before our Louvre tour....ended up not spending that much time since it really isn't that unique. One can try to get wifi by signing up for the Westfield loyalty club, but couldn't get it to work.

I haven't visited this shopping center in almost a decade but we came through here and walked around a bit. It was clean and seemed fairly updated. There were the usual stores you would expect, plus a good number of independent boutique shops. Fun place to kill some time. The location itself is above a subway hub, so it's really easy to get to. It is quite a maze to get through. If you're going to the surface, be aware you're taking the right exit. It'll avoid confusion and save you a lot of time. The subway station below is also where you can take RER B to the airport in case you needed to do some last minute shopping.

The Forum des Halles has evolved a lot in recent years, and I say this after visiting this place more than 9 years ago. Initially, the general state of that place left something to be desired, but they have managed to make it a beautiful space not only dedicated to shopping. The Forum des Halles is just a few blocks away from the Marais (gay village) or the awesome Georges Pompidou Center and is located above the Chatelet-les-Halles metro station, which makes it a very busy spot. You will find some well-known brands such as Zara, H & M, Comptoirs des Cotonniers, Promod, Etam, Monoprix and the Fnac. I recommend this place if you're in an affordable shopping mood while visiting the heart of Paris!

One of the best and largest shopping centres in France, it is modern in the Les Halles area (previously Paris' central fresh food market until demolished in 1971) I like the square and overall shopping centre, the fact it is built mainly underground and links into Paris' transport network is also impressive while still retaining phone good signal, it is modern and rather impressive. I didn't like the entrance into the shopping centre, there was only one lift working which seemed like I was entering a metro station, it smelt a little funny and wasn't clean, going from there into the shopping centre felt like night and day. It has impressive sculpture throughout and they are currently doing a lot to help keep shoppers safe such as by enforcing a one-way system. The mall security seemed friendly and happy to point me in the right direction of a nice Starbucks store. The whole area has been transformed really well, I do feel the current listing on Yelp is a little unfair as it seems to include Les Halles as an area as a whole, rather than Westfield here who deserve credit for rescuing a hole in the ground. If you're looking for somewhere indoors to shop in Paris, this is the place for you, while this is far from the best or biggest mall's I've been too, there's just something about this place I really like and it could just be my favourite shopping centre which doesn't have an Apple Store.

Good selection of stores and shops that is located in a busy area. They have your regulars such as Zara and Nike and H & M but you also find some unique boutiques. You can spend an afternoon walking around as it is quite large and you can also find a place for a treat if your so inclined. Overall just an average shopping mall that gets crowded with a good selection of shops and food.

It used to be an outdoor market now a shopping mall with subway station. A large Lego store on the ground floor. I like the furniture store the 'Maisons Du Monde' . Chained coffee shop 'Paul' is also good too.

I've heard people describe this place as hole in the ground, it is a very apt description - considering the following factors - they are right now under very massive renovation and the fact that it currently is sitting on top of a major hub of transportation for the Paris Metro/RER lines. - Think the underbelly of Union Station in Toronto, only bigger & dirtier and without the old building train station feel. Most of the retail stores are mainstream, like H&M and FNAC, so in other words nothing to write home about. There is a nice furniture store on one of the upper levels; but I find that street browsing at the stores that don't belong to the Mall at street level are much more intriguing and much more lively

This shopping center is completely under construction right now, so many of the stores are closed or hard to get to. It was hard to navigate around this shopping center because there was no standard walking path. It seemed to branch out in every direction. It has all the standard stores like H&M and other chain stores. Nothing special as far as I'm concerned.

Little by little, a better place is emerging from the construction here. It's nicer inside every time I go, EXCEPT that is like a rathole outside, with low-lifes smoking like chimneys and cigarette butts crushed out all over the place. They need to make entering a more pleasant entry experience. It's just not nice to have to hold your nose and step over people blocking the steps to get in.

Underground mall that connects the metro -- reminds me of Asian underground shopping centers, actually. Has a # of H&M-style stores (I believe there's a Zara too) and food, your obligatory Starbucks in the center. Something to make note of is that you must pay (1Euro at the time of my visit) to use the "public restrooms" and they really are not that clean.

We came across this centre one day when it was raining and were looking for somewhere to shelter. Part of it is below ground on two levels. A vast array of stores from chic dress shops to gastronomic delights. Above ground there are pergolas and gardens. and metal and glass houses which house art and poetry.

Les Halles is a shopping centre that is centrally located near Chatalet and Hotel de Ville. The centre is much bigger than you would imagine, it is underground and has a UGC cinema. The range of shops is good with a food places near the cinema. I think that Les Halles is a nice alternative if you want to do some shopping and the weather is bad however I can't see why you would go to a generic shopping centre when Paris is outside. In addition in comparison to the centre at La Defense, I prefer La defense as it is much larger.

better than you think Forum des halles is better than you think - very centrally located the range of shops is pretty good and very convenient - if you can avoid getting lost ... a huge Fnac, Zara, Gap, Muji, Habitat, Sephora, Esprit, DPAM, Apache, Pier Import, Agatha, Pimkie, Nature et Découvertes, Darty, Jennyfer, Go Sport, Giacomelli Sport .... plus some trendy boutiques with new designers like Xuly Bett.
