Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:05:43

This mammoth 23,000-sq-metre space is an ode on three floors to French architecture. The highlight is the light-filled ground floor with a beautiful collection of plaster and wood moulages (casts) of cathedral portals, columns and gargoyles, and replicas of murals and stained glass originally created for the 1878 Exposition Universelle. Views of the Eiffel Tower are equally monumental.
