Le Grand Palace

The Grand Palais ("Grand Palace") is a large glass exhibition hall that was built for the Paris Exhibition of 1900. The Petit Palais (across the street) and the Pont Alexandre III bridge (the famous ornamental bridge you see in all "bridge" postcards of Paris) were also built at this time.

The inside of the Grand Palais is enormous, and the Art Nouveau iron framework and glass ceiling blows minds!

We happened to go there on a day where the huge FIAC exhibition was happening, so we caught a glimpse of many amazing collections from galleries all around the world.
