Handy hints
Magnificent!
Don't miss seeing the Grand Palais by night. At dusk, spectacular lighting turns the newly-restored glass roof of the main hall into a fairytale palace.
Draughts...
The Grand Palais has been one of the artistic centres of Paris for over a century, but the great hall is known for its draughts – so take a sweater with you in winter and even on summer evenings.
