I wish the entry to my university looked like this!
This futuristic entrance to IESEG Paris, a Grand Ecole, is right in the middle of La Grande Arche in the Parisian business district of La Defense. A great place to appreciate modern Paris and what the city has become now.More Recommendations

People watching from La Grande Arche Steps
All around La Grande Arche is a flurry of activity, especially from around midday to 1pm during most local officeworkers' lunch hour. The steps are a popular perch for Parisians and pigeons alike, and a great spot for enjoying the sunshine, the view down to Arc de Triomphe and a touch of people watching

La Grande Arche
In line with the arc de triomphe, in the Parisian business district, La Defense. An interesting area, easily accessible by metro and RER and worth a look at "new" Paris

Explore the modern face of Paris
La Defense, the modern Parisian business district huddled around the impressive Grand Arche is worth a wander. Outcast from the heart of postcard perfect Paris, La Defense is bold, brilliant - and very shiny. As it's all relatively new, the glass panelled buildings shine like diamonds and reflect off each other. No where else have I seen a business district that looks so much to the future - not a single old building in sight.
This area is also surrounded by shopping malls such as Cnit and Les Quatre Temps, full of French retailers.
