As a large event center in Paris, I have always wanted to be able to explore the beautiful inside space during an exhibition. I believe the perfect time came around Christmas time when the interior is transformed into the world's largest indoor ice rink. Coming at night, they had a DJ, two disco balls, and lots of room to skate in a beautifully lit room

One thing we would absolutely emphasize for the first time visitors. Grand Palais doesn't have one entrance, but three entrances. The main entrance, along avenue Winston Churchill (opposite Le Petit Palais), one on the corner of avenue Winston Churchill and avenue du Général Eisenhower (corner entrance with a staircase) and one along avenue du Général Eisenhower. Walking from the corner towards the last entrance, there is an additional entrance, but that's the police post, the Police Commissariat of the 8th arrondissement, not intended for visitors. As a matter of fact, there is a fourth entrance, behind the museum, on avenue Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and even though being a part of the Grand Palais complex, it is a separate science museum, Palais de la Découverte. Try to find out where exactly "your" exhibition is located before heading to the Grand Palais. Grand Palais is a very versatile museum space, and it hosts numerous events, from automobile salons to art exhibitions and food shows. The building itself is magnificent, a fine example of the Beaux-Arts architectural style, a true embodiment of La Belle Époque. It wasn't our first time at the Grand Palais, but the exhibition we visited, "Toulouse-Lautrec: Resolutely Modern" dedicated to the great post-Impressionist artist was nothing short of excellent. Located on several levels, it was the most comprehensive exposition of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, with works from the museums in private collections, from Brazil and the USA to Russia and England. We won't elaborate on the details of the exposition, for it closed about 2 weeks ago, but enough is to state that it felt like a more significant cultural event than the much-touted Leonardo da Vinci's exhibit at Louvre. We would also like to stress the importance of an audio-guide. And it is not about a language barrier (we know French quite well, plus all the signage was in both French and English) but about new and exciting information and enriching explanations one gets from an audio-guide, even if/when you think you know the works, particular artist or topic well.

Currently closed for renovation as of June 2023. It’s beautiful from outside though.

Awesome ice skating rank inside.. visited during the year-end holiday and was so fun family time. Very clean, very well organized, and ideal for rainy days. highly recommended for families

Grand Palais, (French: “Great Palace”) exhibition hall and museum complex built between the Champs-Élysées and the Seine River in Paris for the 1900 Exposition Universelle. A masterpiece of Classicism and Art Nouveau, this Beaux Arts structure (built 1897–1900), with its large stone colonnades and enormous conservatory-style glass roof, is a major tourist attraction and a Parisian landmark A competition was held in 1894 for the general layout of the Exposition Universelle, for which some 100 projects were considered. The first-prize winner was Eugène Hénard, for whose project the Palace of Industry (constructed for an international exposition in 1855) was to be demolished to make way for a grand exhibition hall (the Grand Palais), a smaller exhibition building (the Petit Palais), and a bridge (Pont Alexandre III). A new street (present-day Avenue Winston-Churchill) connecting the Champs-Élysées to the bridge also was subsequently built. In 1896 a second competition was held for the actual design of the Grand Palais, and this time the award was granted jointly to the four top architects. Henri Deglane, Albert Louvet, and Albert Thomas were each assigned a different portion of the building to design, while the whole project was overseen by Charles Girault. The intention was to link the Grand Palais, the Petit Palais, and the Pont Alexandre III to the Champs-Élysées and to the Hôtel des Invalides across the Seine. The Grand Palais’s stone facades, columns, and friezes exhibit features of Classical design, while the intricate metalwork inside is in the style of classic Art Nouveau. The building is composed of three major areas: the Galeries Nationales, the Palais de la Découverte, and the Nave. The area known as the Nave is an iron-and-steel structure with stone walls, and it is crowned by elegant glass vaults. The Nave’s glass roof constitutes the largest such structure in Europe, reaching a height of 45 metres (150 feet) under its dome and spanning some 200 metres (650 feet) in length. At the heart of the Nave is the Great Staircase. This wrought-iron structure, with its mosaic floor and limestone steps, is a masterpiece of Art Nouveau style. Altogether, the three sections of the Grand Palais cover 72,000 square metres (775,000 square feet).

Impressive shed with glass roof! Came here for the winter skating when it had been transformed with an indoor skating rink. The building itself is impressive but the visit experience is going to depend entirely upon what’s actually going on inside at the time...

Unfortunately the grand place was closed when we were visiting it although on the website it said it should be working fine. It was super disappointing as we originally planned for starting with it as we know how unique the collection of art pieces inside are. There is some sort of renovation happening which make it hard to identify the entrance. From what we explored at that time, it was on the left side of museum not the main gate. I would encourage updating their social media and website with their working hours as they are important for visitors like us.

Versailles Palace is beautiful, but was so crowded I could hardly breathe. I was literally shoulder to shoulder within a crowd for over an hour, shuffling from room to room before I just bailed. Apparently they admit a hundred guests every 5 minutes, as well as tour groups and internal palace-staff guided groups. They will of course say due to holidays, but it seems no matter what time of day/year you go, it's still crowded. (Maybe in the dead of winter on a rainy day, it may be accessible) The outdoor gardens and fountains are lovely and worth the visit if you can just get to the gardens.

(Translated by Google) The Grand Palais is a Parisian monument located on the edge of the Champs-Élysées, opposite the Petit Palais, from which it is separated by Avenue Winston-Churchill. Its 77,000 m2 regularly house prestigious fairs and exhibitions. The Grand Palais is one of the most emblematic Parisian monuments. Built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900, it is recognizable by its large glass dome flanked by the French flag. An architectural masterpiece combining stone, steel and glass. By decree of June 12, 1975, the nave is classified as historical monuments. A new decree of 6 November 2000 protects the Grand Palais in its entirety. It is made up of 3 major sites: the Nave, the National Galleries and the Palais de la Découverte. The summit of this set culminates at an altitude of 45 meters. The cupola and dome weigh around 8,500 tonnes of steel and glass, considerably heavier than the Eiffel Tower.

Ses 77 000 m2 abritent régulièrement salons et expositions prestigieuses. Le Grand Palais est l’un des monuments parisiens les plus emblématiques. Construit pour l’exposition universelle de 1900, il est reconnaissable à sa grande coupole en verre flanquée du drapeau français. Chef d’œuvre architectural alliant pierre, acier et verre. Par arrêté du 12 juin 1975, la nef est classée au titre des monuments historiques. Un nouvel arrêté du 6 novembre 2000, protège le Grand Palais dans sa totalité. Il se compose de 3 grands sites : la Nef, les Galeries nationales et le palais de la Découverte. Le sommet de cet ensemble culmine à une altitude de 45 mètres. La coupole et le dôme pèsent environ 8 500 tonnes d'acier et de verre, largement plus lourd  que la tour Eiffel.

#COVID trap. Despite the fact that you buy tickets in advance. Despite the fact that they have people controlling the people present: You are sardined into a small space and physical distancing is impossible. The exhibition is small, mostly based on recent excavations and two buildings, Orion House and Garden House. Nice to see but nothing to write home about.

(Translated by Google) The Grand Palais has a magical sacredness the location and grandeur impose it on those who go to see exhibitions inside it as a place that transmits rigor and attention.Now you can see both the Greek and Loutrec exhibitions video of the Loutrec exhibition, we hope that may all the exhibits have a chance to be seen again as the Covid pandemic continues and makes us stay, rightly for safety all at home (Original) Il Gran Palais ha una magica sacralità la collocazione e l imponenza lo impongono a chi va a vedere mostre al suo interno come un luogo che trasmette rigore e attenzione ora potrete vedere sia la mostra del Greco che quella di Loutrec video della mostra di Loutrec ,speriamo che possano di nuovo tutte le mostre avere una possibilità di essere viste dato che la pandemia del Covid continua e ci fa stare ,giustamente per sicurezza tutti a casa nostra

Great museum. Saw the Toulouse Lautrec retrospective, which was excellent. The museum restaurant is of high quality and with friendly service. Very memorable visit.

Closed still as of January, and construction heavy machinery is inside. Hopefully, it will open soon, to enjoy the exhibitions.

Visited at the weekend for Paris Photo 7-10th Nov 2019. Great venue and was well laid out, the place itself is well just a must a see. Paris Photo is held at Grand Palais every year and hope to back again each time hopefully as an exhibitor one year fingers crossed.

A Grandiose Setting for Art Lovers but Disorganised Venue The Grand Palais is an impressive exhibition hall in the heart of Paris, with a rich history and grand architecture. While the building itself is a marvel, the exhibitions vary in quality and can be hit or miss. Visitors are likely to experience long lines and crowds, making it difficult to fully appreciate the artwork. However, the venue's central location and stunning surroundings make it worth a visit. What sets the Grand Palais apart is its ability to host large-scale exhibitions, showcasing both classic and contemporary art. The building's glass roof floods the space with natural light, creating a unique atmosphere that enhances the artwork on display. Additionally, the on-site cafe and gift shop provide convenient amenities for visitors. One area for improvement is the organization of the exhibitions. With so many visitors, lines can become chaotic and confusing, leading to frustration and missed opportunities. The ticketing process could also be more efficient to reduce wait times. Overall, I would recommend the Grand Palais to art enthusiasts looking for a grandiose setting. While it may not be the most comfortable or organized exhibition hall, its history and architecture make it a worthwhile destination. I left the Grand Palais with a sense of awe and appreciation for the art and the space, but with room for improvement in the logistics of the experience.

It is one of the best sightseeing in Paris. Every time I visit Paris I go to Grand Palais,because I like the enjoyable atmosphere and the place is perfect to relax. So if you visit Paris you should definitely go there. It is suitable for all the ages and you can visit it any month of the year

Amazing ice skating zone!! 25€/ adult. You can stay there forever:)). Very beautiful at night and good music as well.

(Translated by Google) the art deco style of this building gives it an almost masterful appearance. when the programming speaks to me I buy a ticket in advance and I spend the whole day there. (Original) le style art déco de cet édifice lui donne un aspect quasi magistral. quand la programmation me parle j'achète un billet à l'avance et j'y passe la journée entière.

The Pompeii expo was interesting in of itself but is was horribly organized. There were way to many people in a way too small room, we booked at 17:00 but had to wait a while to get in. The waiting was not like in, say the Louvre and we had to literally wait for others to clear out. Instead of starting to clear out of the room twenty to thirty minutes beforehand they did the moment we had booked our visit.

(Translated by Google) The monument itself is beautiful however I was disappointed with the Pompei exhibition. These are mainly videos, the distance is almost impossible to respect despite the fact that there are time slots and reservations in advance. (Original) Le monument en lui-même est magnifique cependant j'ai été déçue par l'exposition Pompei. Il s'agit principalement de vidéos, la distanciation est quasi impossible à respecter malgré le fait qu'il y a des créneaux horaires et des réservations au préalable.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful exhibition on Pompeii. Superbly immersive. (Original) Très belle exposition sur Pompéi. Superbement immersive.

Great place to visit. The museum is amazing. Outside the museum there are many places to take good pictures. I loved it.

The Grand Palais is a magnificent structure both inside and out and host to many fantastic shows throughout the year (my favorite being Paris Photo in the fall). The facility is great to look at both outside and inside so take time to do both.

The building is a huge structure that stands out from other buildings in the city because to several outstanding architectural features.

One of the kid friendly and entertaining museums in Paris. They have a bigger version of the science museum which families shudnt miss. This one is small and the planetarium had shows forwhich you need to book beforehand for admission

Incredible building housing an exhibition hall and museum complex.

Haven't had a chance to go in yet, the building is impressive.

Gorgeous light and structure for any event

Museum with different sections. More than a day is required to enjoy it in full.
