The Palais de Chaillot and the Trocadero

The vast plaza located on the hill of Chaillot housed since 1651 the Convent of the Visitation, destroyed after the Revolution. The site has inspired many French leaders and that is Louis XVIII we have one project, which gave its name to the Trocadero. He wanted to commemorate the capture of Fort Cadiz by the Duke of Angoulême in 1823 by building a monument called "Trocadero Villa", a name that has marked this place forever. Napoleon wanted him to build an imperial city in honor of the King of Rome, his son. As for the sculptor Antoine Etex he had proposed the construction of a fountain monumental center of which stood a lighthouse ... So many fantastic projects that have never emerged. It is thanks to the Universal Exhibition of 1878 What emerged the old Trocadero Palace and gardens of the Trocadero, which had the mission of enhancing the splendor of the oriental palace designed by Davioud, whose minarets of seventy meters imitating the heights of the Giralda Cathedral in Seville eyeing passersby marveled.
It was much later, during the Universal Exhibition of 1937, the Palais de Chaillot was built on the site of the Palais du Trocadero.

But where Trocadero's in a name?

In January 1822, a revolt led by Colonel Rafael del Riego explodes at Cadiz, Spain. King Ferdinand VII of Bourbon, was taken prisoner. To quell this revolution, the Holy Alliance (Russia, Austria, Prussia and England) authorizes Louis XVIII, King of France, to intervene. In April 1823, the French expeditionary force of 80,000 men commanded by the Duc d'Angoulême seized Madrid and Cadiz on walking or fled the revolutionary leaders. 31 August 1923, French soldiers kidnap the fort defending the Trocadero the port of Cadiz and release the king of Spain, who harshly repressed the revolt. In 1826, Louis XVIII organizes on the hill of Chaillot, a celebration commemorating military success but certainly very modest first act of glory of the French army since the defeat at Waterloo in 1815. The win has definitely marked the Trocadero place.

The Trocadero gardens.

The Trocadero gardens cover an area of 93,930 sqm, and have been created by Jean-Charles Alphand for the Exhibition of 1878 and redeveloped for Expo 1937. They are famous for their famous fountain of Warsaw (1937), directed by Roger Expert and Master Paul: a series of cascading pools overlooking a large pool with water cannons are fifty-six jets that crashed into eight steps of water.

The gardens are punctuated with a multitude of sculptures, some dating from the 1930s, as both works of stone Man and Woman Traverse Bacqué, overlooking the river or the two groups gilt bronze bull and Daim Jouve and Horses and Dog Drivier.
