The restoration of the Grand Palais has begun from every direction, from the top of the Nave to the basement. One writer, two photographers and an illustrator have beaten a path through this behemoth of a project. They observe, listen and document the development of these unique restoration works, sharing their insight into the Grand Palais with the public. With literary chronicles, snippets of colour, shadow and light, meticulous X-ray analysis of the transformation of the spaces and bold historical narrative, the Grand Palais inspires these artists. They talk to us though images and text, with sensitivity and creativity.
