PARIS >> Amid great fanfare, Paris’ Mayor Anne Hidalgo has unveiled the long-awaited $1 billion revamp of the city’s dilapidated main shopping and metro complex, often the first port of call for tourists visiting the City of Light.

The near-decadelong project came about after pressure from local Parisians who viewed the rusty 1970s structure — which is also the world’s largest underground station — as one of the city’s biggest eyesores.

The once-gloomy underground center has now been opened up, thanks to a giant, high-tech glass-and-metal undulating canopy roof.

The revamped “Forum des Halles” also boasts 35 new stores and restaurants.

Museum to offer immersive films

DEARBORN, Mich. >> The Henry Ford Museum is offering a more-vibrant cinematic experi ence that features new projection, sound and seating.

The upgraded Giant Screen Experience starts Monday at the museum in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn. “National Parks Adventure” will be shown in 3-D. It’s an immersive film that takes audiences soaring up exposed rock faces and hurtling down steep mountain cliffs.

The theater will be a venue for the Cinetopia International Film Festival in June, a Thursday Night Flix series and feature films that explore the American experience.

Dinosaur park finds new home

LEONIA, N.J. >> A dinosaur theme park in New Jersey that was in danger of becoming extinct has found a new home.

Field Station: Dinosaurs has signed a deal with Bergen County to move to Overpeck County Park, which covers more than 805 acres and has major sections in Teaneck, Leonia, Ridgefield Park and Palisades Park.

The prehistoric theme park opened in 2012.

But it left Secaucus last year after Hudson County officials informed them that construction would be starting there on a new building for a high school.

The park had already renewed its lease. So the dinosaurs were packed up and remained in storage until the park could find a new home.

The park will move temporarily to Leonia, and eventually to the Teaneck section.
