La Canopée is a structure built above the Châtelet-Les-Halles station and the Forum shopping centre in the Les Halles district of Paris.

Inaugurated on 6 April 2016, it embodies the architectural solution chosen following the international competition of July 2007 to modernise and restructure the centre of gravity of the Île-de-France metropolis, inherited since the destruction of Baltard’s Halles.

With its 96-metre span, the Canopée offers Greater Paris a gateway on its own scale.
