The Palais de Chaillot, commonly referred to as the Palace of Trocadéro, is a historic and architecturally significant building located in the Trocadéro area of Paris, directly across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. This impressive structure, designed in the Neoclassical style, was constructed for the 1937 International Exposition of Arts and Technology.

The Palais de Chaillot consists of two curved wings that frame the central esplanade, offering stunning views of the Eiffel Tower and the Champ de Mars. The expansive terrace, known as the Esplanade of Human Rights (Esplanade des Droits de l'Homme), is a popular spot for both tourists and locals to enjoy panoramic views of Paris.

Several notable institutions are housed within the Palais de Chaillot:

Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine: This museum and cultural center focuses on architectural heritage and urban planning, featuring exhibits on French architecture and monumental art. Musée National de la Marine: Dedicated to maritime history, this museum displays a vast collection of model ships, paintings, and naval artifacts. Musée de l'Homme: An anthropology museum that explores the evolution and cultural history of humanity through a diverse range of exhibits.

The Palais de Chaillot is also known for its historical significance. The terrace is where the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, symbolizing a commitment to human rights and freedoms.

The surrounding Trocadéro Gardens, with their beautiful fountains and sculptures, enhance the appeal of the area, providing a picturesque setting for visitors to relax and enjoy the views. The location of the Palais de Chaillot, with its close proximity to the Eiffel Tower, makes it an essential stop on any tour of Paris.

The Palais de Chaillot is not only an architectural gem but also a cultural hub, offering a wealth of museums and exhibitions that celebrate both French heritage and global history. Its prominent location and historical importance make it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the...

Paris Mon Amour. As a song says. Here I am again - Me voilà de retour. I regret nothing, love comes and goes - Je ne regrette rien, non L'amour ça va, ça vient. This is a love story between us - C'est une histoire d'amour entre nous. There is an infinite amount to say about Paris. It is not called the 'City of Love' for nothing. Anyone who has been there once will long to return to this city again and again. It is the atmosphere, the language, the sounds and the smells, especially when you can stay there as a couple. I feel the same way.. I got there twice by plane and once by train. It took about 1 1/2 hours from Munich to Paris. A good 8 hours by train. I was able to stay in this city as a guest for a week each time. We crossed the city on foot. There are cafes on every street corner all of which invite you to linger. There are many small hotels to stay in, which may not have the comfort of the big hotels, but are typical of France, small, cozy and clean. I am an atheist but Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre has always been a sacred and magical place that should be approached with respectful silence and respectful quietness. Friends were there in the middle of the month and provided me with the pictures. Paris is definitely worth a trip, no, several times. Don't miss out on this city! Be sure to visit Versailles, about 20 km west of Paris. I don't want to upload any more pictures of Paris, there are enough of them, I just want to give an impression. Find me on...

Trocadero

No vamos a engañarte: por muy turístico que sea, salir desde el metro hacia la Plaza del Trocadero y ver la Torre Eiffel desde allí supone, si nunca antes has estado en París, un pellizco en tu corazoncito viajero.

Y es que desde Trocadero se obtiene la típica fotografía de la Torre Eiffel frente a frente, aunque hay que pelear la foto dada la gran cantidad de turistas que posan delante del mirador con la famosa torre al fondo.

HEY! No te olvides de reservar nuestros tours en español:

🇪🇸 Excursión a Versalles desde París (el MÁS RESERVADO) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

🇪🇸 Tour Montmartre (el París de los artistas)

🇪🇸 Tour Barrio Latino (el barrio universitario)

Conocida como la Place du Trocadéro et du 11 Novembre en francés, esta imponente plaza que llamaremos, simplemente, Trocadero, está situada en la confluencia de varias de las principales avenidas de París, unida por un puente al Campo de Marte, muy cerca de la Torre Eifel.

Cómo llegar a Trocadero en París

La Plaza de Trocadero, una plaza de origen español

Te resultará curioso saber que el nombre de Trocadero procede, precisamente, de España, concretamente de la Isla del Trocadero, una pequeña isla gaditana donde un ejército de franceses conocido como los Cien Mil Hijos de San Luis derrotaron en agosto de 1823 a los liberales que ocupaban por entonces el gobierno español, contribuyendo a la restauración del rey depuesto, Fernando VII. A su regreso a París, los militares franceses celebraron su victoria en el lugar que hoy ocupa la plaza, que quedaría bautizado con este nombre.

La Plaza del Trocadero.

La Plaza de Trocadero como tal no se crearía hasta finales del XIX, cuando Napoleón III mandó construirla como Plaza del Rey de Roma, y poco después sería nombrada Place du Trocadéro de forma oficial.

El Palacio del Trocadero

Cuando fue inaugurada, la plaza debió de tener un aspecto aún más majestuoso que ahora, pues en medio de las dos alas semicirculares que hoy podemos contemplar se encontraba el Palacio del Trocadero. Este Palacio del Trocadero, construido con motivo de la Exposición Universal de 1878 y de arquitectura bizantina, sería destruido unos años después y sustituido por el Palacio de Chaillot.

Escultura en los Jardines del Trocadero.

Hoy en día, cada una de las alas del antiguo palacio alberga varios museos: el ala derecha, la Ciudad de la Arquitectura y del Patrimonio, y el ala izquierda, el Museo del Hombre y el Museo de la Marina de París.

Los Jardines del Trocadero

La Plaza de Trocadero contiene algunos elementos interesantes, como la gran estatua ecuestre del Mariscal Foch que se encuentra en el centro elevada sobre una base de 8 metros de altura. Un monumento que conmemora a uno de los militares más relevantes para la historia francesa, pues fue la resistencia de Foch y sus ejércitos frente al avance alemán la que supuso la derrota de los segundos y el fin de la Primera Guerra Mundial.

Además, la plaza está situada sobre los Jardines del Trocadero, de gran belleza, y en el centro destaca la Fuente de Varsovia: una sucesión de cascadas y chorros a cuyos lados podemos contemplar diferentes esculturas mientras nos acercamos hacia la Torre Eiffel.

Las mejores vistas de la Torre Eiffel

La Torre Eiffel vista desde Trocadero.

Como te decíamos, lo mejor de Trocadéro son sus vistas de la Torre Eiffel, especialmente al atardecer si el día está despejado, cuando el cielo se tiñe de rosa y naranja y te regala una imagen única del icono parisino por excelencia.

Este es nuestro camino favorito hacia la Torre Eiffel porque te permite verla cara a cara y apreciarla en toda su dimensión: utiliza el metro hasta la parada de Trocadero, situada justo bajo la plaza, y sal de la estación. No tiene pérdida: sigue a la multitud y pronto verás aparecer frente a ti la Torre Eiffel.

Y a la inversa: las mejores...
