- Toca Social, located on Level -2 at Westfield CNIT. It’s a place to have fun playing soccer using immersive technologies;
- Crocs, the brand known for its colorful and customizable shoes, which is opening its first non-outlet store in France on Level 2 of Westfield Les 4 Temps;
- Jack & Jones, a men’s casual fashion store, located on Level 1 of Westfield Les 4 Temps.
The CNIT, a historic and recently renovated shopping center
The CNIT, the first building constructed in La Défense, was inaugurated in 1958. Designed by architects Jean de Mailly, Robert Camelot, and Bernard Zehrfuss, it is known for its vaulted ceiling, which is still considered an architectural feat.
After two major renovations, in 1988 and then in 2009, the building has undergone another transformation in recent years. Following several years of construction, the expansion of the shopping center was inaugurated in May 2024. Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield unveiled a new 9,000 m² space on Level -2, featuring 45 new stores and restaurants, bringing the total retail space to over 37,400 m². This expansion coincided with the opening of the new RER E station, La Défense - Grande Arche.

From immersive experiences to concert halls, not to mention the Westfield Les 4 Temps-CNIT shopping centers, climbing gyms, fitness centers, and cultural venues, there’s something for everyone!
