Les Halles, one youth and a shared world of differentiated styles.
Les Halles, in Paris, is an area that is very popular with young people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Their use of this area is particular, highly diversified, constantly changing and little is known about it. As part of the renovation plans for Les Halles, a research study was funded by the City of Paris into the representations and uses made of Les Halles by young people from the Paris suburbs. Did they feel that Les Halles was, in their eyes and in terms of what it represents to them, a special place ? This question leads naturally to another : if it is spécial, is this related to their geographical origins ? According to the young people, the differences that are significant in Les Halles are related more to questions of style.
