Computer view of the future face of Les Halles district, designed by French architect David Mangin. Paris mayor Bertrand Delanoe announced, Wednesday, Dec.15, 2004, the choice of Mangin's project. Les Halles was the central wholesale market for the Paris region until the 1970s and was bulldozed and haphazardly rebuilt in the 1970s. Today, Les Halles is a run-down mall, a dark underground subway hub and a garden. (AP Photo/SEURA)
