Il Distretto 1 raccoglie le principali attrazioni a distanza di cammino: la cattedrale di Notre-Dame in mattoni rossi, l'elegante Ufficio Postale Centrale con la sua sala a volta, l'Opera coloniale e il Municipio riccamente decorato. Il Palazzo dell'Indipendenza conserva le sue sale com'erano alla fine della guerra, e il Museo dei Residuati Bellici racconta il conflitto con una franchezza che fa riflettere.
