explanation: Facing Eiffel Tower in another side of the Seine river, Trocadero palace was built for 1937's Universal Exposition with Jacques Carlu as the main architect, by replacing the precedent palace built for1878's Exposition. Its name comes from a monument built there in order to commemorate the French victory at Trocadero in Spain in 1823.
