Taste of Paris

The Grand Palais is one of Paris' most iconic monuments. Built for the 1900 Exposition Universelle, it is easily recognizable by its large glass dome flanked by the French flag. An architectural masterpiece of stone, steel and glass, it has been a listed historical monument since 2000. It is composed of 3 main sites: the Nave, the National Galleries and the Palais de la Découverte. The imposing 240 m long Nave welcomes large-scale national and international events of all kinds, including horse riding, contemporary art, funfairs and more. The National Galleries organize major exhibitions on famous and influential artists such as Pircasso, Hopper and Renoir, and the Palais de le Découverte is a museum and cultural centre dedicated to science where children learn and have in permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. An unmissable 3-in-1 site just a stone's throw from the Champs-Élysées.
