On Place Georges-Pompidou, fire-eaters, mimes, magicians, jugglers, and other street entertainers put on their shows for the amusement of young and old alike. Nestled between Les Halles and the Marais, the Beaubourg district is brimming with life from morning to night, all year round. There is a party atmosphere in the air, inviting you to hang out in the pedestrianized streets. And yet it is the unusual architecture of the Centre Pompidou that has led to the reputation and success of this unconventional establishment!
