The right bank is dominated by the modernistic Forum de Halles and the Pompidou Centre in the Beaubourg. Beaubourg and Les Halles are Paris's most thriving public areas, with millions of tourists, shoppers and students flowing between them. Young people flock to Les Halles, shopping for the lattest street fashions beneath the concrete and glass bubbles of the underground arcades. All roads from Les Halles appear to lead to the Pompidou centre, an avant-garde assembly of pipes, ducts and cables housing the Musée National d'Art Moderne. The smaller streets around the centre are full of art galleries housed in crooked gabled buildings. The neighbouring Marais was abandoned by its royal residents during the 1789 Revolution, and it descended into architectural wasteland before being rescued in the 1960s. It has since become a very fashionable address, though small cafés, bakeries and artisans still survive in its streets. Enchanting sites, like Place des Vosges, with the surrounding XVIIth-century buidings are to be visited, just like Place de la Bastille, with its brand new Opera.
