Pavillon Baltard, Historic monument and performance hall in Nogent-sur-Marne, France
Pavillon Baltard is a glass and iron structure with arched windows, high ceilings, and detailed metalwork displaying industrial architecture throughout. The space can accommodate between 500 and 2500 people for concerts, exhibitions, conferences, and private events.
The building was constructed in Paris during the 1850s by architect Victor Baltard and relocated to Nogent-sur-Marne in 1974. It remains the sole surviving structure from Baltard's designs for Les Halles, Paris's former central market.
The venue houses a Christie organ from 1930, once installed in the Gaumont Palace cinema, which shapes the experience of concerts and events held there. Visitors can hear this historic instrument still in use today.
The venue is open throughout the year for various events and provides comfortable conditions for both large and small gatherings. It is helpful to arrive early and familiarize yourself with the layout before your visit to make the most of your time there.
The structure was originally part of Paris's grand central market and was carefully dismantled piece by piece to be transported to its new location. This 1970s relocation was one of France's most ambitious construction projects, transforming an industrial building into a cultural monument.
