A striking building designed by Ricardo Bofill.
Amazing piece of architecture. But be aware - the place is not safe at all, it's a total ghetto. Most likely someone will try to robb you, or at least will offend of not taking any pictures/deleting them/stealing your film and will try to force you to leave the area. It's best to have someone local and french-speaking with you to visit this area.
