Discover all the educational and extracurricular offerings, book your tickets, and prepare your visit to the Grand Palais.
Welcome
The Grand Palais is committed to supporting teachers and educational partners in the discovery of its exhibitions and heritage. As part of this approach, specific programming is offered to leisure centers, nursery schools, elementary and middle schools, high schools and preparatory classes, with mediation adapted to each level. Whether through guided tours, educational workshops or dedicated tools, everything is designed to awaken students' curiosity and enrich their cultural experience.
To facilitate access and ensure optimal reception for visitors in school groups, a dedicated entrance is located at Square Jean Perrin. If you come by coach, students can be dropped off at the Palais de la découverte stop on avenue Franklin Roosevelt, and the coach can then park on Cours la Reine.
Cloakroom
Self-service lockers are available in the checkroom, located on level -1 under the Place centrale (access via the Square Jean Perrin entrance). For reasons of comfort and security, bags larger than 42 × 30 × 20 cm are not permitted in the visiting areas. Three locker sizes are available for your personal belongings: 30 × 50 × 49 cm, 30 × 50 × 64 cm and 30 × 50 × 98 cm. Please empty your locker before the site closes.
Picnic area
A picnic area is available for groups on level -1 near the cloakroom. This friendly, practical space allows students and accompanying adults to take a comfortable break before or after their visit.

Your report will be forwarded to our lost and found department, who will contact you if the item is found.

Our Artistic and Cultural Education projects
The GrandPalaisRmn is committed to making the Grand Palais, its events and the history of art accessible to all, by implementing a genuine mission of Artistic and Cultural Education.
To achieve this, partnerships are forged with Academies, schools and extracurricular structures, promoting access to art for children, young people, teachers and activity leaders in a school or extracurricular setting.
These collaborations aim to create conditions conducive to an encounter between young people, their educators, and the rich cultural offerings of the GrandPalaisRmn.
Friday June 13, the Grand Palais was pleased to host the restitution of the work of students from four schools involved in the "Reinventing a Grand Palais" Excellence Program, run in partnership with the Versailles Academy: a powerful moment of sharing around the artistic projects carried out by the students, their teachers and the artists accompanying them.
