This complex is located right across from the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The views from the plaza in the middle, therefore, are particularly good.
The Palais de Chailot is a relatively new building as these things go. The old building went down in 1937 to make room for new construction for a world's fair of sort. The United Nations General Assembly has met here a few times over the years. There are a few different museums in the complex today.
However, one of the most remembered images of World War II came from here. Adolf Hitler stood on these grounds and was photographed with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
