Centre Pompidou
$22.00
The Centre Pompidou sits on a sloping plaza in the Marais, where the Beaubourg neighbourhood meets the old line of Les Halles. Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers turned the building inside out in 1977: every duct, escalator, and lift pinned to the façade in blue, green, yellow, and red. The view from the top-floor escalator is one of the few in Paris that lets you read the city as a single shape. The building closed for renovation in September of 2025; it is scheduled to reopen in 2030.
