Not far from the place where the battle of Lutetia took place, Napoleon I wanted to build the wider building of the world.
In occasion of the universal exhibition of 1878 the magnificent building of the Trocadero was created and it was replaced, in 1937, with the Palace of Chaillot.
The neoclassical style of the buildings, the majesty of gardens and the beauty of the structures approaches this square to the Napoleonic project.
