The Grand Palais recognized among the world’s most beautiful museums

On 4 December 2025, the World Ceremony of the Prix Versailles was held at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, bringing together a broad international community committed to architectural excellence. On this occasion, the Grand Palais was recognized as one of the “most beautiful museums in the world,” an honour for which we are particularly grateful.

This award recognises the work, talent, and perseverance of the women and men who made the extraordinary renovation of the Grand Palais possible. During the ceremony, our team — François Chatillon, Simon Chatillon, Adélaide Breuvart, Anne Mochel, Antonin Gilles, Lucie Wix, and Sarah Bastien — received this distinction on behalf of the thousands of professionals who contributed to the restoration and enhancement of this historic monument.
