Paris, July 2002
“The Jardins du Trocadéro (Gardens of the Trocadéro) is a public space in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France. It is bounded to the northwest by the wings of the Palais de Chaillot and to the southeast by the Seine and the Pont d'Iéna at the Place de Varsovie, with the Eiffel Tower on the opposite bank of the Seine. The entire site was formerly the garden of the original Trocadéro Palace, laid out by Adolphe Alphand for the 1878 Exposition Universelle. The present garden has an area of 93,930 m2, and was created for the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne (1937). This was the design of Parisian architect Roger-Henri Expert. During the exposition in 1937, the pavilions of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were facing each other on opposite sides of the Jardins du Trocadéro. The grounds hosted the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics.” (Jardins du Trocadéro, Wikipedia)
