Pavillon de l'eau, Water museum in 16th arrondissement, France.

The Pavillon de l'eau occupies a former water pumping station building with brick walls and large skylights at 77 Avenue de Versailles.

Originally constructed as a Seine water pumping facility in 1828, the station received electrical upgrades after World War I before its transformation in 2007.

The permanent exhibition presents the evolution of Paris water supply through different periods, from Roman aqueducts to industrial innovations.

The museum organizes guided tours, educational workshops, and thematic meetings about water management for school groups and general visitors.

The building features separate sections known as station A and station B, reflecting different technological periods in Paris water distribution history.
