One of the most beautiful squares in Paris! The Place du Trocadéro is the ideal place to admire and photograph the Eiffel Tower, that elegant Iron Lady. Located in the 16th arrondissement, the square is home to the famous Palais de Chaillot. The Trocadéro is a must-see on your first visit to Paris.
Designed for the 1878 World's Fair, they stretched out in front of a Spanish-Moorish palace that was destroyed to build Chaillot in 1937. From its paths and slopes, much appreciated by walkers and skaters alike, there is a magnificent view of the Eiffel Tower... In summer, Parisians like to cool off around the famous Warsaw Fountain (1937), which includes a large central basin dominated by a series of cascading pools and regularly enlivened by the great waters distilled by 20 water cannons.
Located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris and a symbol of the French capital, the imposing "Iron Lady", a giant 324 metres high, was designed by Gustave Eiffel for the Universal Exhibition of 1889.
