Grand Palais Éphémère
The Grand Palais éphémère is a temporary exhibition hall in the Champ de Mars by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte.[1] The 10,000 m2 hall opened in 2021[2] and is meant to be dismantled in 2024.[3][4] Its purpose is to host exhibitions while the Grand Palais is being renovated for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[5] The Grand Palais Éphémère will host the judo and wrestling events at the 2024 Summer Olympics, and judo and wheelchair rugby at the 2024 Summer Paralympics.[6] GL events, the events organisation major, is the concessionaire for the ephemeral Grand Palais. It maintains and manages the resale of the building.[7] In July 2021, it hosted the 10th edition of the forum for timber engineers and architects at the International Forum Bois of Construction.[8] References
