Just off Pont Alexandre III
The Grand Palais is just off Pont Alexandre III and against the Petit Palais, the three monuments were built at the same time for the Universal Exhibition of 1900. It is noted for its huge glass ceiling and I recommend visiting at night because the show is remarkable: a crystal palace and lights, it's a nice scene. The building is nouveau mixed with classic art and is adorned with bronze statues of winged horses. Inside can only be seen after payment but you will, like me, I kept wanting.
