   Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine, in the Palais de Chaillot’s eastern wing, is a mammoth 23,000 sq metres of space spread over three floors and devoted to French architecture and heritage. The highlight is the light-filled ground floor, which contains a beautiful collection of 350 plaster and wood moulages (casts) of cathedral portals, columns and gargoyles, and replicas of murals and stained glass originally created for the 1878 Exposition Universelle. The views of the Eiffel Tower from the windows are equally monumental.
