Directions
Trocadero - Chaillot Palace is one of Paris’s most recognizable monumental ensembles, dramatically positioned across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. The current Palais de Chaillot was built for the 1937 International Exposition, replacing the earlier Palais du Trocadéro from the 19th century. Its broad curved wings frame the esplanade, fountains, and gardens that create one of the city’s classic urban panoramas. Over time, the complex has gained cultural importance not only for its architecture and grand public space, but also for the museums it houses, including architectural, naval, and ethnographic collections. Today, Trocadero - Chaillot Palace remains both a major sightseeing point and a symbolic Paris landmark where monumental design, public life, and iconic views come together.
