Le palais de Chaillot est situé sur la colline de Chaillot à Paris, dans le 16e arrondissement, place du Trocadéro-et-du-11-Novembre. Il a été réalisé lors de l'exposition universelle de 1937 par les architectes et grands prix de Rome Léon Azéma, Jacques Carlu et Louis-Hippolyte Boileau, en lieu et place de l'ancien palais du Trocadéro .The Palais de Chaillot is a building in the Trocadéro area in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France. For the Exposition Internationale of 1937, the old Palais du Trocadéro was demolished and replaced by the Palais de Chaillot which now tops the hill. It was designed in classicizing "moderne" style by architects Louis-Hippolyte Boileau, Jacques Carlu and Léon Azéma. Like the old palais, the palais de Chaillot features two wings shaped to form a wide arc: indeed, these wings were built on the foundations of those of the former building. However, unlike the old palais, the wings are independent buildings and there is no central element to connect them: instead, a wide esplanade leaves an open view from the place du Trocadéro to the Eiffel Tower and beyond.
