The Palais de l'Industrie (Palace of Industry) was an exhibition hall located in Paris between the Seine River and the Champs-Élysées, which was erected for the Paris World Fair in 1855. This was the last of several buildings with the same name erected on the same site. The first Palais de l'Industrie was built in 1839 and was replaced for subsequent exhibitions in 1844 and 1849. The 1855 building was mainly designed by the architect Jean-Marie-Victor Viel and the engineer Alexis Barrault. It was demolished in 1897 to make way for the Grand Palais of the World Fair in 1900. Emperor Napoleon III wished the World's Fair of 1855, which followed London's Great Exhibition by four years, to prove the superiority of the French by surpassing the British fair in every way. In particular, he desired a spectacular exhibition hall to rival The Crystal Palace. A competition held in 1852 was won by a plan by architect Jean-Marie-Victor Viel and engineer Desjardin, which combined the traditional use of masonry with that of cast iron. Due to cost constraints, however, the plans had to be reworked, for which the engineer Alexis Barrault is credited. In the final design, masonry was used only for the exterior walls, which were to be one metre thick and eighteen metres high. However, these massive walls were barely able to support the weight of the projecting cornice, and had to be reinforced with cast iron columns and beams. The Palace of Industry was 260 metres (850 ft) long and 105 metres (350 ft) wide. Its principal nave was 190 metres (630 ft) long, and 48 metres (158 ft) wide. It was surrounded on four sides by aisles two stories high, and 30 metres (98 ft) wide. Its semi-circular trusses bridged a 24-metre (80 ft) span to create an enormous exhibition room. Despite its immense size, the palace was not large enough to house all of the expected exhibitors, so that two temporary buildings were constructed to house the remaining displays. The main failure of the building, which was not completed by the day the World Fair opened, was its poor ventilation. Although this made the building extremely hot during the day, it served as a hall for numerous exhibits and social events until its demolition in 1897. Octave Mirbeau, commenting on the Palais de l'Industrie as a focal point of the Champs Elysées, compared the building to "an ox trampling through a rose garden." Although critics nearly universally condemned the Gothic "heaviness" of the building, the sheathing of an iron and glass structure with a stone casing was imitated in the London Exposition of 1862 and the World Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and even in the buildings that were to replace it: the Grand Palais and Petit Palais built for the 1900 World Fair. The entrance of the Palais de l'Industrie was crowned by Élias Robert's sculpture group France crowning Art and Industry.

The Cirque d'Été (Summer Circus), a former Parisian equestrian theatre (and a type of indoor hippodrome), was built in 1841 to designs by the architect Jacques Hittorff. It was used as the summer home of the Théâtre Franconi, the equestrian troupe of the Cirque Olympique, the license for which had been sold in 1836 to Louis Dejean by Adolphe Franconi, the grandson of its founder, Antonio Franconi. The cirque was later also used for other purposes, including grand concerts conducted by Hector Berlioz. The new theatre was located on the north-east side of the present Rond-Point of the Champs-Élysées. At first called the Cirque National, it also became known as the Cirque des Champs-Élysées and the Cirque Olympique des Champs-Élysées. In 1853 it was renamed Cirque de l'Impératrice (in honor of the new Empress Eugénie), a name which it retained until the fall of the empire in 1870. The cirque on the Champs-Élysées should not be confused with the same company's winter theatre, the Cirque Olympique on the Boulevard du Temple, which had opened in 1827, or with the company's later winter theatre, the Cirque Napoléon (on the rue des Filles Calvaires), also built for Louis Dejean and opened in 1852. The latter theatre dropped the name Cirque Napoléon in 1870 and became primarily known as the Cirque d'Hiver (Winter Circus). The theatre on the Champs-Élysées was demolished in 1902.

The Jardin des Champs-Élysées is a public park located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. It occupies 13.7 hectares, and is located on both sides of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées between the Place de la Concorde on the east and the Rond-point des Champs-Élysées on the west and between Avenue Gabriel to the north and the Seine to the south. It includes within its boundaries the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, as well as a theater and other buildings. It was one of the first parks in the city, laid out by André Le Notre in 1667, and was the site of the Paris International Exposition of 1855 and an important part of the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900, for which the Grand Palais and Petit Palais were created.

The Hameau de Chantilly ('hamlet of Chantilly') in Paris was a group of cottages in the gardens of the Élysée Palace in Paris constructed by Bathilde d'Orléans, Duchess of Bourbon in 1787 in imitation of the Hameau de Chantilly at the Château de Chantilly, her principal residence.With the Revolution, she left the Élysée in 1792, returning in 1794; she finally left in 1797. The Élysée gardens, also known as the Jardin Bourbon, became a public garden in 1797 where many public celebrations were held.In 1801, Velloni fils opened the Hameau as a short-lived eating, drinking, and dancing establishment. Here is his announcement: The hamlet of Chantilly, in front of the Élysée-Bourbon, two doors doors down from the Champs-Élysées and in the Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Corner of Marigny Street. Velloni Junior has the honor of informing the public that he will shortly open his new location at the Hamlet of Chantilly with an extraordinary celebration. Every day, English picnics will be served, including every kind of cold meat and the best wines, as well as sit-down lunches and other lunches served in the cottages of the hamlet. A large country café will be set up in the middle of a vast room of greenery: there will be coffee, high tea, chocolate, bavaroises, punch, all kinds of cool drinks, sweet wines, fine liqueurs from the islands, glazed pastries Italian-style, a complete selection of molded ice creams, sherbets, and mousses made by Citizen Tortoni, the pupil and successor of Velloni Senior: a new sparkling lemon drink like the best champagne, a Dutch beer-garden in the middle of the Hamlet, where white beer of the best quality will be served, with various pastries, and generally everything one might desire, all of the best quality, and in the most proper and decent atmosphere. In this huge space there will be all sorts of fun country games, including see-saws, merry-go-round, badminton, water races, dances in the middle of the Hamlet organized by Citizen Julien; a superb promenade on the chateau's terrasse, newly decorated with pavillions with mirrors and statues; a vase with flowers and lights, and many beautiful orange-trees; finally, nothing has been forgotten to make this the most pleasant and elegant visit. The ticket price will be one franc for the day, of which 75 centimes (15 sous) can go toward any of our offerings, except for dance and country games. It is proposed to offer once every ten-day week ['decade'] extraordinary celebrations, including a vocal and instrumental concert by Citizen Feydeau's orchestra conducted by Citizen Lahoussaye; beautiful fireworks by Citizen Ruggieri, and magnificent lighting by Citizen Duvergier. The program of these celebrations will be announced in posters, the day before and the day of their presentation. The ticket on those days will cost 2 francs, not including other offerings. The Jardin Bourbon functioned as a public garden until it was sold to Joachim Murat in 1803 or 1805.

The Hôtel de Marigny is a town house in Paris, France, on the Avenue Marigny, not far from the Elysée Palace. It is used as a state guest house for state visitors to France. The house has been the property of the French government since 1972. Its history dates back to June 15, 1869, when Baron Gustave de Rothschild paid the Duchesse de Bauffremont 2,700,000 francs for two town houses, at 21 Avenue Marigny and 14 Rue du Cirque, with a total floorspace of approximately 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2). In 1872, the Baron decided to combine the two buildings into a single property and to erect additional buildings on part of the site. On May 17, 1879, he acquired the town house at 13 Avenue Marigny. Extensive work was carried out on the site from 1873 onwards, lasting for nearly 10 years, under the direction of the Baron's architect, Alfred-Philibert Aldrophe. Today, the Hôtel Marigny comprises a main building with one two-story wing at right angles, standing above a vast basement area for the domestic services. The main emphasis is on the monumental central part of the façade: the entrance to the main lobby comprises two lower-level reception areas beneath the raised ground-floor, while the upper portion contains four Corinthian columns framing a bay window and two niches, bearing a frame and sculpted frontispiece of the same provenance.

That exposition also produced the adjacent Petit Palais and Pont Alexandre III.The building was designed to be a large-scale venue for official artistic events. A pediment on the building refers to this function with an inscription that reads, "a monument dedicated by the Republic to the glory of French art." Designed according to Beaux-Arts tastes, the building features ornate stone facades, glass vaults and period innovations that included iron and light steel framing and reinforced concrete.It is listed as a historic monument (monument historique) by the Ministry of Culture.
