2024
Go there and contact
The Grand Palais is an architectural feat that, at the time, symbolised the entry into a new, resolutely modern world.
Pending the reopening of the Grand Palais, which has been closed for renovation, two other venues have been created. The "Grand Palais Ephémère", with its remarkable wooden framework, will host exhibitions, live shows, and other events on the Champ-de-Mars. In summer 2024, it will host judo, wrestling, wheelchair rugby, and para-judo events. The second temporary space, the "Grand Palais Immersif", set up in part of the "salle modulable" at the Opéra Bastille, is dedicated to digital exhibitions.

Members' reviews on GRAND PALAIS
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
The building was constructed in 1897 after the demolition of the Palais d'Industrie. The building follows the Beaux-Arts style from the eponymous great school of architecture in Paris.
During World War I, the site was used as a military hospital. The Grand Palais was used for military purposes again during World War II by the Germans as a warehouse for trucks.
