How to Get to Grand Palais - Fencing & Taekwondo

The closest Paris Metro station to the Fencing / Taekwondo event at Grand Palais is Champs-Elysées Clémenceau station on Paris Metro lines 1 and 13.

But Champs-Elysées Clémenceau Metro station will be closed during the 2024 Paris Olympics!

You must use other stations or take an alternate route to get to Grand Palais events venue.

How to Get to Grand Palais Olympic Events

Coming from Left Bank / South of River Seine

use Invalides station and walk 5 min. across Bridge Alexandre III
Invalides station is accessible on Metro line 8, Metro line 13 and RER C
at Invalides station use exits for “Grand Palais” / “Pont Alexandre III” if nearby, otherwise any exit is fine. (It’s easier to orient yourself at street level than underground.)
at ground level, head north towards the river (Seine) & bridge Pont Alexandre III
cross the Seine river by walking across Pont Alexandre III bridge
the glass domed ceiling and four-horse chariots of Grand Palais should be visible from the bridge

To access Grand Palais from the Northern half of Paris (the “Right Bank”)…

Metro station Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) and a 5 minute walk down Av. Franklin D. Roosevelt
