Location History
The Baltard Pavilion is one of the 12 glass and cast iron pavilions which constituted the former Paris's central fresh food market, built in 1852 during the reign of Napoleon III. The other ones were destroyed in 1971 after the market was moved to Rungis.
It is a precious testament of the cast iron architecture. The government saves the pavilion n°8 on associations demands. It was dedicated to vegetables. The Pavilion was dismantled and re-erected in the City of Nogent sur Marne in 1976 to become a concert hall. The official inauguration was in December 1977. The town bought at the same time an organ from Gaumont Cinema, a piece of staircase form the Eiffel tower, an urinal and the Guimard’s entrance of metro station Georges V. The pavilion is classified as a Historical Monument since 1982.
