Your Biennale; visitor information

You can reach the Grand Palais in about ten minutes via the Metro from your Hotel Pavillon Bastille. The Biennale opens its doors from noon to 20:00, with late openings on Thursday and Saturday. Your visit will also give you the opportunity to explore the district, from the Place de la Concorde to the Champs-Elysées, by way of that hub of luxury and designer shopping known as the Golden Triangle. Don’t miss the chic and elegant Jardin des Tuileries, another fine example of Parisian art de vivre!

Among the many events of the season, the Biennale Paris antique fair is surely the one that exhibits the most exceptional pieces; items rarely seen by the public. It’s an opportunity to admire them but also to take the pulse of the art and antiques market. Ask the team at the Hotel Pavillon Bastille to help you arrange your visit!
