At walking distance of the magnificent monuments of « Invalides and l’Ecole militaire , close to the Saint Germain des Près neighborhood.
The area around the Eiffel Tower is on a fitting scale to the tower itself. On a clear night, its beam sweeps through the sky in a radius covering 80 kilometers. The spectacle is awesome and one feels so small in this grandiose area with its massive buildings and vast green spaces! Just opposite, for example, are the gems of the 1937 Exposition Universelle: seventy-one artists decorated the Palais de Chaillot and a quartet of architects designed the Palais de Tokyo and its white colonnade.
On show in the latter is the acclaimed fresco La Fée Électricité by Dufy and the monumental La Danse triptychs by Matisse. For La Porte de l’Enfer, see the Musée Rodin.
