Le Millenaire – Shopping Heaven Near Paris

The Paris suburb of Aubervilliers is officially open for business. The Millennium Mall (Le Millenaire), a fantastic example of urban renewal, houses 140 retail stores and eight restaurants, one of which is a river barge and six that boast waterfront terraces. It’s France’s biggest commercial project in more than a decade and built with optimum green design. Stores include such popular favorites as Carrefour, Guess, Yves Rocher, Zara, Bershka, Swarovski, FNAC, ConfoDECO, Alcott, and H&M. Located along the Canal Saint-Denis, the mall project undertook renovation of old warehouses and dockyards and constructed matching architectural styles to create a “town-like” effect, complete with public green spaces and paths along the canal.
