Halle aux blés, Grain market building in 2nd arrondissement, Paris, France
The circular structure features a grand glass dome supported by iron ribs, allowing natural light to flood the interior space through its transparent ceiling.
Built between 1763 and 1767 under architect Nicolas Le Camus de Mézières, the building replaced the former Hôtel de Soissons following a decree by King Louis XV.
The building transformed from a grain trading center into the Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection, which now exhibits contemporary art installations.
The third-floor restaurant offers dining services throughout the day, with chefs Michel and Sebastien creating dishes that incorporate traditional grain-based recipes.
Thomas Jefferson considered this building's architectural design so remarkable that he attempted to replicate its glass dome concept in Washington D.C. governmental structures.
