Audio tour · Great Palace

2:07

You're standing at the Grand Palais, between the Champs-Élysées and the Seine. Look at that massive stone façade with its columns and statues, and above it the glass roof arching over the building. On the corners of the main façade stand two copper chariots pulled by four horses, by sculptor Georges Récipon. One shows Immortality prevailing over Time, the other Harmony triumphing over Discord.
