Audio tour · Palace of Tokyo

You're standing at the Palais de Tokyo, on avenue du Président-Wilson, facing the Trocadéro. Don't expect anything Japanese. The name comes from the street between the building and the Seine. Today it's Avenue de New-York, but from 1918 to 1945 it was called Avenue de Tokio.
