Venue: Grand Palais
The Grand Palais des Champs-Élysées commonly known as the Grand Palais (English: Great Palace), is a historic site, exhibition hall and museum complex
The Grand Palais is a magnificent site at the heart of Paris. Thanks to the most advanced construction techniques at the time, the Grand Palais, which was built for the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1900, is renowned worldwide for its magnificent nave and glass roof. More than 6,000 tonnes of steel were needed to build the nave. The Grand Palais, which had never previously benefited from a full restoration, is currently undergoing work and will reopen on 15 April to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in the Nave.
Legacy
Following Paris 2024, the Grand Palais, which will fully reopen in spring 2025, will continue to host cultural events throughout the year.
