dc.descriptionDetail, head; Proposals to rebuild Gabriel Davioud’s Palais du Trocadéro for the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne (1937) in Paris resulted in Carlu's design for the Palais de Chaillot (with Louis Hippolyte Boileau and Leon Azéma (1888-1978)), enclosing within its two curved wings parts of the original structure. In front of this, created for the fair, are gardens and fountains designed by Roger-Henri Expert, complemented with sculpture. Just below the first level of stairs from the Palais de Chaillot, are two over-life size sculptures made of sandstone, "L'Homme" (The Man) by Pierre Traverse on the west side and "La Femme" (The Woman) by Daniel Bacqué on the east side. Bacqué was a student of Bourdelle. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 5/7/2011)en_US
