Pavillon Dauphine - 19:00 pm – 23:00 pm

The Pavillon Dauphine was built in 1913 on the site of the Pavillon Chinois of the bottom at the avenue de l’Imperatrice, now called avenue Foch. Having been constructed by the City of Paris, the initial purpose of the Pavillon Dauphine was to serve a place to receive official delegations arriving by train by at the Porte Dauphine station, before being taken to State buildings such as the Elysée. Inheriting this elegant tradition of the Belle Epoque, the Pavillon Dauphine continues to organise numerous events.
