A district marked by the great names in architecture and design

The greatest names in architecture and design rub shoulders here. A foray into three “haute couture” buildings: City Hall (by Jean Nouvel and François Fontès), RBC Design Center (J. Nouvel) and the Georges Frêche School of Hotel Management (Massimiliano Fuksas).
