women men mixed GRAND PALAIS On Avenue des Champs-Elysées in the 8 th arrondissement, the Grand Palais is an iconic monument – a true jewel in Paris’ crown. Along with the elegant Pont Alexandre III and the Esplanade des Invalides, it is part of a magnificent cluster of competition venues in the very heart of the city. The Grand Palais was designed by a group of architects for the 1900 Paris Exposition, with the Olympic Games taking place in the capital the same year. The building was built in the style of Beaux-Arts architecture using the most advanced techniques of the time. The nave alone contains 6,000 tons of steel. The Grand Palais has been extensively restored over the years to modernise its infrastructure and ensure it retains its architectural splendour. The latest work – the most extensive to date – will be carried out from 2021 to 2023. With two million visitors attending a total of over 40 events each year in the 77,000 m² exhibition hall, the venue can accommodate a range of events, including exhibitions, fashion shows, corporate galas and sports competitions like the memorable 2010 World Fencing Championships.
