About Chaillot Palace

The Palais de Chaillot is a neoclassical Art Deco cultural complex on the Trocadéro hill, directly facing the Eiffel Tower across the Seine. Built in 1937 by architects Léon Azéma, Jacques Carlu, and Louis-Hippolyte Boileau for the International Exhibition, it replaced the earlier Palais du Trocadéro from 1878. The building consists of two curved wings framing a wide open esplanade that offers one of the most direct frontal views of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights inside the Palais de Chaillot. Fifty countries voted in favour, with eight abstentions. The esplanade was later renamed the Esplanade des Droits de l'Homme to commemorate this event.
