The esplanade of the Musée d'Orsay, was fitted out in 1985 and endowed with numerous statues the group of which says Statues of continents, which decorated the facade of the palace of the Trocadéro with the World Fair of 1870. Certain monumental statues of animals also found their place on the square of Orsay. The rhinoceros, the horse in the harrow, the elephant, presented in the gardens of the hill of the Trocadéro, make a passage during long years for the door of Saint-Cloud. The ox, the fourth present animal is today in Nîmes. Two bulls are presented to the field of Mars, not far from the head of the statue of Liberty by Bartholdi. One of them is installed in front of the main entrance of the old slaughterhouses of Vaugirard, become Park Georges-Brassens with another reproduction almost similar.

It was realized during the World Fair of 1937 by the architects and the Grand Prix of Rome Léon Azéma, Jacques Carlu and Louis-Hippolyte Boileau, there is instead of the old Palace of the Trocadéro a World Fair of 1870. It is there that the president Mac Mahon receives luxuriously the ambassadors and the foreign princes. The statues of the Continents which decorate the facade of the palace of the Trocadéro, were reinstalled in front of the Musée d'Orsay. The palace of the Trocadéro does not have authority to exceed the stage of the exhibition but finally remains. He sees crossing the World Fairs of 1889 and 1900, the installations of which are especially distributed on the field of Mars. During the exhibition of 1900, the detached houses of colonies and French protectorates are installed in the gardens of the palace . Since the 1990s, it shelters several museums West of which the museum of the Man, Marine in its wing, the Théâtre National de Chaillot, as well as the City of the architecture and the heritage in its wing is.

This station had a long history, bound to the World Fairs of 1867, 1878, 1889 and 1900, of which it was one of the main accesses. During the World Fair of 1870, to harm the site, we redo the station of Champ-de-Mars. Four ways harm the station and we build a buffet along the avenue of Suffren. It is the architect Just man Lisch who is in charge of plans of the building travelers, a metallic structure in the filling of bricks was provided with wide windows.

This vestige of the World Fair of 1878 very almost disappeared. After a long period of restoration by Frédéric Didier, Chief architect of Historic monuments, it found all its splendor. The detached house of India was commanded by the Prince of Wales, future Édouard VII, to represent British India. It is then about two symmetric parts connected by a gallery and had risen as other detached houses in the Iron palace on Champ-de-Mars. The planned life expectancy was of six months, however both parts were separately sold to the end of the exhibition. The one left in the sea resort of Paramé but was most probably destroyed by 1905 or 1911 by a violent storm. Other half was transferred in Courbevoie in 1882-1883 in the park of Bécon, property of prince George Barbu Tirbei, who leaned it in a new brick house serving as artist studio for one of his daughters, the painter George-Achille Fould. The detached house reopened in September, 2013 as museum whereas the brick-built part will serve as housing environment and as workshop for an artist raises of the National Fine Arts Academy.

The detached house of Suède-Norgève of the World Fair of 1878. A visit in Scandinavia near Paris, in the middle of the big fir trees of the park, an unusual place, one of the first "long-lasting" houses of the world! The Swedish architects used some wood recycled and compressed to make the typically Scandinavian decorations of the facade. Inside this detached house transformed into museum and perfectly kept, we find the warm atmosphere of the Scandinavian chalets. The building of the museum was given to the foster daughter of the prince, Consuelo Fould, who lived there. She painted and in her death there, she bequeathed a part of her fortune to the city hall of Courbevoie to make a museum of the name of his professor: Ferdinand Roybet. The museum groups collections of works of the second half of the xixe century in particular those of Consuelo Fould and Ferdinand Roybet. The museum shelters besides a collection of toys and the testimonies relative to the local history.
