Grand Palais , which means "Big Palace", is a huge glass exhibition hall in Paris. It was built for the Paris Exhibition of 1900, and is located in the 8th Arrondissement of Paris.

Grand Palais was built at around the same time as the Petit Palais and the Pont Alexandre III.

The Grand Palais is an excellent example of the Beaux-Arts style of architecture. The roof is an expanse of steel and glass. The exterior combines a Classical stone façade with Art Nouveau ironwork.

How to reach the Grand Palais

Take the M1 or M13 subway trains to the Champs-Élysées-Clemenceau station. Walk south along Avenue Winston Churchill until you reach the Grand Palais on your right.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
