The Grand Palais

The Grand Palais, an exhibition hall and museum complex, was built for the Universal Exposition of 1900. It was designed in the style of Beaux-Arts architecture. The building spans an area of 775,000 square feet in the form of an 'H'. Listed as a historic monument, it is recognisable from a distance thanks to its glass roof, the biggest in Europe.
