[subtitles available] Over the past 120 years, the Grand Palais has undergone a succession of installations and refurbishments, resulting in the disappearance of many of its original decorations and colors.
Elise Quantin, director of the Chatillon architects agency, invites us to discover the variety of colors in this emblematic building, and how they have been rediscovered.
Find out what color the monumental Great Staircase in the nave of the Grand Palais was originally, and how it was restored.
For the floor of the nave, we explain how the "sand" concrete color was obtained, and the challenge of applying it to the thousands of square meters of new slab.
In the Palais de la découverte, admire the wealth of ornaments and colors, and the steps involved in restoring the gigantic trompe-l'oeil decorations.
