Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais Reviews
Rated out of 5
The Dolce and Gabbana exhibition currently here is amazing. The workmanship in the creations, the setting out of the spaces over 2 levels taking you through curtain “rooms” the decor and even the fragrance that wafts through is all a sensory feast.

It was a wonderful experience because I had the experience to see the Dolce & Gabbana exhibition . The entrance up the stairs are steep, and I'm not sure if there was a wheelchair access point. The various rooms for the Fashions were a bit tight, but the crowd was controlled based on your ticket time slots for entry, and same day ticket buyers were permitted entrance based on volume at any given time. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

I was lucky enough to visit Grand Palais for not just one, but two exhibitions during my stay in Paris, and both were absolutely fantastic! The space itself is stunning and provides the perfect setting for truly immersive art and fashion experiences.
What made my visit even more special was unexpectedly stumbling upon a Chanel fashion show, which was such a unique and exciting surprise!
Overall, this was an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for a long time. If you’re in Paris and have the chance to visit an exhibition at Grand Palais, I highly recommend it—it’s a must for any art and fashion lover!

Line was very long. It wrapped completely around the building, but it moved fast. Inside was beautiful, the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone enjoyed tremendously. Buy tickets in advance!
