Légende

The Palais de Chaillot from above, Paris, France, c1955. For the Exposition Internationale of 1937, the old 1878 Palais du Trocadéro was partly demolished and rebuilt to create the Chaillot Palace. The Palace consists of two separate wings shaped to form a wide arc, which are those of the former Palais du Trocadéro with new taller portions built in front. The pair of larger central pavilions are also those of the former Palais du Trocadéro, encapsulated in new construction. The large central hall and towers of the old palace were demolished, leaving only the basement, with a wide esplanade created on top, establishing an open view from the Place du Trocadéro to the Eiffel Tower and beyond. The buildings now house a number of museums. In the foreground is the Fountain of Warsaw.
