What to expect

Located near the Champ-de-Mars and the Eiffel Tower, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, the UNESCO headquarters welcomes many visitors each year. From a distance, its modern and particular architecture already attracts the curious eyes of tourists. Being the result of the collaboration between several architects, namely: Marcel Breuer, Luigi Nervi and Bernard Zehrfuss, the building presents a particular style.
