Best Answer

La défense literally means 'The defence' as in the defence of a town or an ideal.

But 'La Défense' usually refers to the financial district in the West of Paris.

It is the equivalent of saying 'the square mile' in England to refer to the financial district in the East of London.

Hope that helps.
