About Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine
In the grand Palais de Chaillot facing the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine is the largest architecture museum in the world, a spectacular showcase of French architectural heritage. Its extraordinary gallery of casts displays full-scale reproductions of portals, sculptures and whole sections of the greatest medieval and Renaissance monuments of France, allowing visitors to admire masterpieces from cathedrals across the country under one roof. Further galleries present reconstructions of painted vaults and murals, and a superb collection devoted to modern and contemporary architecture, including a full-scale apartment from Le Corbusier's Cité Radieuse. Monumental, fascinating and unique, the Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine offers an unrivalled journey through a thousand years of French building, with the added bonus of breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower from its windows.
