Pavillon des Indes, Courbevoie, Heritage building in Parc de Bécon, Courbevoie, France
The Pavillon des Indes is a wooden building with symmetrical design located at 142 Boulevard Saint-Denis within Parc de Bécon. Two main sections connect via a gallery, creating a distinctive structure with notable proportions.
The building was originally designed for the 1878 Paris World Exhibition to represent British India and commissioned by the Prince of Wales. It was relocated to Courbevoie during the 1880s.
The pavilion serves as both a gallery space and a residence for contemporary artists, continuing to nurture creative work. Visitors experience how the building bridges its historical past with active artistic practice today.
Guided tours can be arranged for visits, with multiple dates available particularly during winter months. Check ahead to book your visit and plan your tour accordingly.
When relocated during the 1880s, the ground floor became the first floor while the original first floor was lowered to ground level. This vertical transformation is a rare adaptation that changed how the building sits on its new site.
