Wilmotte's Grand Palais Éphémère to be Rebuilt in Caen by 2028
The Grand Palais Éphémère, designed by architect Wilmotte and originally installed on the Champ-de-Mars in Paris from 2021 to 2024, will be reassembled in Colombelles near Caen in 2028. The temporary structure served as a venue for cultural events while the historic Grand Palais underwent renovations. Its relocation to Normandy extends the building's lifespan and provides a new cultural hub for the region.
