Courbevoie, a city in the Hauts-de-Seine department that hosts part of the La Défense business district, combines a residential town center atmosphere with ultramodern sectors of office towers. Served by metro line 1, tramway T2 and the Courbevoie SNCF station, the municipality attracts business travelers from around the world. The quieter, more residential Bécon-les-Bruyères neighborhood contrasts with the bustle of Charras and the Faubourg de l'Arche. The city hall strictly regulates tourist rentals to maintain the balance between economic activity and residential life.
