Golden inscriptions on Le Palais de Chaillot at Trocadero, Paris
There is one on each side of the building.

"Il dépend de celui qui passe
Que je sois tombe ou trésor
Que je parle ou me taise
Ceci ne tient qu'à toi
Ami n'entre pas sans désir"
  Paul Valery

"Dans ces murs voués aux merveilles
J'accueille et garde
Les ouvrages de la main
Prodigieuse de l'artiste
Egale et rivale de sa pensée
L'une n'est rien sans l'autre"
  Jean Rouch

I prefer the 1st one from paul valery

Heres the Palais de Chaillot, but with different inscriptions. When I was there about a week ago you could read the 1st phrase by paul valery instead. I think they change them from time to time.
