In a kind of urbane no man’s land, located in the dog-ear angle of the Celestin’s triangle between the Blvd. Bourdon, the lock of the Saint Martin canal and the Blvd. Henri IV, the Arsenal Pavilion offers without any doubt, the best and cheapest panorama over Paris city.
”Be yourself the Eiffel Tower” could be the tag line of the sight experience, a 3D Paris scale model, propose you as a preamble, in the middle of the hall room.
All around, Paris city’s historical steps are very well documented in french and english speaking. 12 scenes liven up your visit from “The enclosed city” to “Paripolis” or “Le Grand Paris”.
For modern architecture lovers and dilletantes, “Archi-Bus” paths n°88, 95, 96 and a the subway route n°6 are a lively way to arouse and entertain their diary translations outside the Center for Information, Documentation and Exhibition for Urban Planning and Architecture of Paris.
