French pavilion, Exhibition pavilion in Giardini della Biennale, Venice, Italy

The French pavilion presents a white neoclassical structure with symmetrical design features and large glass windows at the Venice Biennale grounds.

Built in 1912 by architect Faust Finzi, the French pavilion maintains its original architectural elements while showcasing contemporary art exhibitions every two years.

The pavilion functions as France's primary platform for presenting national artists and cultural innovations during the international Venice Biennale art exhibition.

Visitors can access the French pavilion through the main entrance of Giardini della Biennale, following the path toward the national pavilions section.

Artist Julien Creuzet transforms the pavilion space in 2024 with installations combining Caribbean influences and underwater themes through sculptures and sound.
