This cutting-edge art center dedicated to contemporary exhibitions was a much-needed addition to the city’s art scene when it opened under the guidance of legendary curators Jérôme Sans and Nicolas Bourriaud in 2002. Located near the Trocadéro, the Palais hosts frequently changing shows (some stronger than others) and even its head curators change every two years, assuring a varied and interesting programing. (Every year, the Palais also invites an artist and gives him or her carte blanche to curate the programming for three months.) Two of the city's hottest restaurants, Monsieur Bleu and Tokyo Eat, are located in the Palais.
