Palais de Chaillot, Palace in Trocadéro area of 16th arrondissement, France
The Palais de Chaillot consists of two separate wings forming a wide arc with central pavilions at the top of Chaillot hill in Paris.
Built for the 1937 International Exhibition, the Palais de Chaillot replaced the former Palais du Trocadéro and hosted the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.
The palace houses multiple institutions including the National Maritime Museum, Museum of Man, and the City of Architecture and Heritage within its expansive wings.
The palace stands at 63 meters elevation and visitors can access it through the Trocadéro metro station, connected by lines 6 and 9.
Twenty-two sculptors, fifty-eight painters, and two ornamental ironworkers contributed to the decorative elements of this neoclassical structure during its construction.
