Concorde La FayetteWith a cellar large enough to store 13,000 bottles of champagne and 35,000 bottles of wine, the sheer size of Concorde La Fayette gives rise to some fascinating statistics. For example: The Surface of the building, including both Tower and Hall, is 55,000 m² – three times that of the garden at the Palais Royal. The Volume of the building is 170,000 m 3 - equivalent to 1.5 times that of the Arc de Triomphe. The Weight of the building is 85,000 Tons – 12 times that of the Eiffel Tower. The Total Height of the building is 140m – equivalent to the height of Butte Montmartre. Concorde La Fayette has 30,000m2 of fitted carpet – enough to cover the Champ de Mars. 2.000 Tons of steel and 3,200m2 of glass were used in its construction and the building now houses over 60,000 m of paintings and fabrics "welcome to the concorde la fayette, where the highest levels of quality are combined to the very latest in technology to produce an experience that fits perfectly within the pure tradition of the great hotel. this is our ambition: to be – and to remain – a leader on the international market." Opened in April 1974 as part of the creation of the International Center of Paris, Concorde La Fayette was developed to provide an answer to the expansion in leisure tourism and business travel that was impacting the area. Located close to the Champs-Elysées, between the Triangle d'Or and the business district of La Défense, Concorde La Fayette offers to its customers access to Paris from one of the most privileged sites in the French capital. With 1,000 rooms overlooking the city, two restaurants, two bars and a variety of salons, the Concorde La Fayette is more than just the "flagship" of the Concorde Hotels Group (TAITTINGER Group) – it is also a Parisian landmark. Towering above Porte Maillot, the Concorde La Fayette is a landmark for Parisians and visitors to the French capital. Porte Maillot itself takes its name from the "jeu de mail", a form of croquet invented during the reign of François the first. The area, which was annexed by the Capital in 1860, has historical significance because it was here, on 13 July, 1842, that the Duke of Orleans, the eldest son of King Louis-Philippe, died when he jumped from a carriage after the horses bolted. His grieving mother, Queen Marie-Amélie, had a chapel built in his memory on the site of the fatal accident. The Chapel, built in a curious "romantic-Byzantine" style, was classed as an historic monument in 1929 – a move that saved it from demolition in 1971 when work began on the Paris Convention Centre. | ||||
