Trocadéro is a station of the Paris Métro named after the Place de Trocadéro.
[edit] History
The Place de Trocadéro owes its name to the fortified position on the Bay of Cadiz in the south of Spain, which was captured in the Battle of Trocadero by French troops led by Louis-Antoine, Duke of Angoulême, Charles X 's son , in 1823.
This name was also given to the "Moorish" palace built for the World Fair of 1878. The palace was demolished in 1937 and was replaced by the current Palace of Chaillot.
[edit] Places of interest
The Palace of Chaillot shelters:
- the Musée de l'Homme, an ethnographic museum, although part of its exhibition is being transferred to the new Musée du quai Branly;
- the Musée national de la Marine;
- the Musée national des Monuments français; and
- the Théâtre national de Chaillot.
