Places to see in ( Paris - France ) La Defense
La Défense is a major business district just west of the city limits of Paris. It is part of the Paris Metropolitan Area in the Île-de-France region, located in the department Hauts-de-Seine spread across the commune of Courbevoie, as well as parts of Puteaux and Nanterre.
La Défense is Europe's largest purpose-built business district with 560 hectares (1,400 acres) of area, 72 glass and steel buildings (of which 19 are completed skyscrapers), 180,000 daily workers, and 3,500,000 square metres (38,000,000 sq ft) of office space. Around its Grande Arche and esplanade (le Parvis), La Défense contains many of the Paris urban area's tallest high-rises.
The district is located at the westernmost extremity of the 10-kilometre-long (6.2 mi) Historical Axis of Paris, which starts at the Louvre in Central Paris and continues along the Champs-Élysées, well beyond the Arc de Triomphe along the Avenue de la Grande Armée before culminating at La Défense. The district is centred in an orbital motorway straddling the Hauts-de-Seine département municipalities of Courbevoie, Nanterre, and Puteaux. La Défense is primarily a business district and hosts a population of 25,000 permanent residents and 45,000 students. La Défense is also visited by 8,000,000 tourists each year and houses an open-air museum.
La Défense is named after the statue La Défense de Paris by Louis-Ernest Barrias, which was erected in 1883 to commemorate the soldiers who had defended Paris during the Franco-Prussian War.
In September 1958, The Public Establishment for Installation of La Défense (fr) (EPAD) buildings (of which the Esso Tower was the very first) were built and began to slowly replace the city's factories, shanties, and even a few farms.
It launched high-profile international competitions and/or construction greenlight of several key 300-to-320-metre (980 to 1,050 ft) tall sustainable development-style skyscrapers such as Tour Signal, Tour Phare, Hermitage Plaza, and Tour Generali. During said December 2005 Press Conference, EPAD released to the public an elaborate 3D animation film titled La Défense 2015.

Hotel Formule 1 Saint-Denis, France -- CHEAP and CONVENIENT!
Use the 'net to book in advance at the Formule 1 in Saint-Denis, on Blvd Lenine (not sure about the spelling, Lenin Boulevard, anyway, think of Lenin) -- these pod hotels are often not that great a deal, because they tend to be located on the outskirts of towns, by the highways, and you really need a car.
The accommodations are bare-bones and you might feel a bit lost at first, because there often isn't a real reception desk or any real services of any kind, but you get used to it quickly, and it's great!
YOU SHOULD RESERVE and get there a little early! A lot of these fill up WAY in advance, and there might even be slight over-booking. You have to get used to interfacing with a computer terminal OUTSIDE, and frankly, they are not all that user-friendly sometimes!
The breakfasts are pretty loathesome and you are better off, at this particular one, anyway, just to pop outside and walk a block over to a bar, and stand at the counter and get un petit café and a tartine (buttered bread) and then press on. Paris is NOT a late-night city, and you should try to get up and get moving early. We have great public transportation here, but it takes a long time to get from point A to point B!
If I were you, I'd arrange to see only one sight each morning, stop at noon and have lunch, take a little rest if possible, then in the afternoons, stroll! Forget about running here and there! The real joy can be in just lingering in any old neighborhood, on a free bench, even, watching the world go by! Use your afternoons for shopping, too. Most places close for lunch -- be prepared! And be seated at noon -- they will start running out of food quickly if it's a good place, and it is likely to be crowded at 1 pm. Do NOT go after 2 pm and expect to be seated and served!
Dinner starts again at 7 pm.
If you really get hungry at other times, pop into a Franprix or Monoprix grocery store, and they even have great ready-made food you can just take out, and save a bundle!
I can help you do business in France, and can guide you through the flea markets and other neat places -- it takes a habitué to get through these joints! Le Marché de Saint-Denis runs every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday morning and you are just plain ol' clueless if you miss it! Arguably the largest and best market in all of Europe. Get there early -- 8 am or so is fine. Sunday mornings are a MADHOUSE! Go to Mass at the Basilica of Saint-Denis at 10 am every Sunday and hear the magnificent pipe organ, one of the rarest and best in the world, and enjoy a huge, multi-ethnic congregation. After the services, you can pay to get into the back of the Abbey Church, and visit the Necropolis of the Kings, the crypt, and more -- there may be special tours and visits available. The Office de Tourisme in Saint-Denis can help you out, and wow, do they have great stuff for sale there!

The Paris Metro -- A Mini-User's Guide
. . . at least for taking the 13 métro North toward either Asnières-Gennevilliers, or Saint-Denis, from Paris.
The 13 is the most-used métro train in Paris, so is usually very crowded. Everyone complains, but as the Southern end serves only Chatillon and the Northern End serves only we racailles (riffraff) in Seine-Saint-Denis (le 93), (a reference to its postal code) nothing is done about it. I commuted for years into Paris on this train, and you can be sure, any delays or strikes will take place when you're tired and trying to get back home at day's end. They actually do that on purpose. Employers get their workers in the morning, then the workers get the shaft after a long day's labor.
These Northbound trains used to have either a blue or yellow lit sign on the sides, but those don't exist anymore, I discovered today. They were impossible to read as the trains zipped by, anyway. Now there is only a little sign at the head of the train. Better have sharp eyes, or be prepared to decipher the confusing electric signage.
The 13 line splits at La Fourche (the fork) kind of North of Montmartre sorta, and one line goes to Asnières-Gennevilliers via Clichy. There is a famous pet cemetery up in Asnières. You have to pay a lot to get in, but it's really creepy and fun, very worth it. The other line goes up into Saint-Denis, through the world's first industrial zone, still heavily polluted and foul smelling, which was massively (and selectively, ahem!) bombed during WWII. We still find live bombs from WWI and WWII around. Needless to say, vast areas have to be evacuated when they locate one (often during construction work)!
Here, you can hear unintelligible loudspeaker announcements, perhaps similar to what you are accustomed to at home. Don't stay out late, because the whole system starts to shut down after 11 pm or so. They think nothing of stopping the train halfway to your destination and kicking you out, when this happens. We have found ourselves in dark, deserted, scary places we didn't know a thing about, not a taxi in sight, on these unfortunate occasions. Public transportation starts again around 5 am.
