Grand Palais
Architectural Sites, Champs-Élysées
Fodor's Review:
With its curved-glass roof and florid Belle Epoque ornament, you can't miss the Grand Palais whether you're approaching from the Seine or the Champs-Elysées. It forms a voluptuous duo with the Petit Palais, on the other side of avenue Winston-Churchill: both stone buildings, adorned with mosaics and sculpted friezes, were built for the world's fair of 1900, and, like the Tour Eiffel, no one expected them to be permanent. Parisians flock to the special exhibitions and events held here. To avoid long lines, try to reserve your ticket more than 24 hours in advance, although prices are less expensive without reservations.
