Palais de Chaillot (Le)

17, place du Trocadéro, Paris, France

 

Situated almost at the foot of the Tour Eiffel, the Palais de Chaillot was built on the hill of Chaillot by the architects Azema, Louis-Auguste Boileau and Jacques Carlu for the Great Exhibition of 1937. This Neo-Classical monument, shaped like a banana cut in two, is composed of four pavilions and two wings, each measuring 195m in length. It is adorned with sculptures and bas-reliefs from the Thirties, as well as gold inscriptions by the writer, Paul Valery. It houses the Musee de l'Homme, the Musee de la Marine, the Musee du cinema Henri Langlois, the Musee des Monuments francais, Chaillots National Theatre and the Cinematheque francaise. In front of its facades lie the Jardins du Trocadero.
