Hakeim or Charles Michel)
A free navette fluviale (water bus) shuttles between the Eiffel Tower and this spiffing new
riverfront shopping mall spanning three buildings (two linked by a scenic air bridge). Beau-
grenelle's 100 shops range from chains like H&M and Zara to Marks & Spencer (with a
British food hall) and a large Fnac. There's also a 10-screen cinema and 10 restaurants.
DISCOUNT DESIGNER OUTLETS

between av de Maine and rue Raymond-Losserand).
