Grand Palais, which means "Big Palace", is a huge glass exhibition hall in Paris. It was built for the Paris Exhibition of 1900, and is located in the 8th Arrondissement of Paris.

Grand Palais was built at around the same time as the Petit Palais and the Pont Alexandre III.

The Grand Palais is an excellent example of the Beaux-Arts style of architecture. The roof is an expanse of steel and glass. The exterior combines a Classical stone façade with Art Nouveau ironwork.
