TheTrocadero Garden, graces the hill Chaillot just below the Palais de Chaillot. The name "chaillot" designates a rocky hill.
Around 1823, Louis XVIII wanted to commemorate the taking of the town of Trocadero, Spain, by the duc d'Angoulême, with building a Villa Trocadéro on the hill of Chaillot. The Villa was never constructed, but the name stuck.
The Trocadero Garden covers 93,930 square meters, extending from the Palais de Chaillot to the Seine River and sits exactly opposite the river from the Eiffel Tower.
