History

From Auteuil
to Passy

Prestige, greenery and Art Nouveau: the 16th arrondissement has been the symbol of the great Parisian bourgeoisie since the Belle Époque. Between the Trocadéro with its iconic Eiffel Tower view, the Bois de Boulogne and the Marmottan museum, it forms an open-air architectural museum and one of Europe's most exclusive residential markets — the natural address for international families and connoisseurs seeking space, security and a setting of lasting elegance.

Quality of life

Mansions
and Bois

Quality of life in the 16th is often cited as the highest in Paris for families: exceptional calm, remarkable cleanliness, prestige property, numerous sport and tennis clubs within the Bois de Boulogne, and one of France's most respected private school networks. Immediate proximity to the Bois (850 hectares) gives a unique access to nature in the heart of the capital, with cycling paths, riding tracks and lakes within minutes of any address.

The Musée Marmottan Monet, the Palais de Tokyo and the City of Paris's Museum of Modern Art form an exceptional cultural offering within walking distance. The 16th also concentrates the largest number of embassies and diplomatic residences in Paris, which lends it a distinctly international and notably secure atmosphere — a balance of discretion and seriousness that families and senior executives consistently mention as their first reason for choosing the area.

Trois anecdotes
du 16th arrondissement

— Anecdote 01

Hector Guimard, the architect of the Art Nouveau Métro entrances, lived and built most of his major works in the 16th arrondissement. The Maison Jassedé (1893), the Castel Béranger (1898) and the Maison Guimard (1912) trace an exceptional architectural itinerary through the streets of Auteuil and Passy.

— Anecdote 02

The Roland-Garros stadium, built in the 16th in 1928, owes its name to an aviator — the first to cross the Mediterranean solo by plane (1913), killed in aerial combat in 1918 — who had never played tennis. The French Tennis Federation obtained the land on the condition that his name be given to the stadium.

— Anecdote 03

The Maison La Roche, Le Corbusier's first Parisian house (1925), stands on impasse du Docteur Blanche in the heart of Auteuil. Its continuous ramped architectural promenade, free plan and pure white façade marked a formal revolution that influenced the entire 20th-century architecture.

Our view
The 16th gives its residents something almost irreplaceable in a city as dense as Paris: space. The space of the great avenues of Auteuil and Passy, the space of the Bois de Boulogne with its lakes and racecourses, the space of generously proportioned flats one no longer finds in the central arrondissements. Its families value the renowned schools, the tennis clubs in the Bois and the chestnut-lined bridle paths — markers of a way of life attached to lasting values: quality of environment, permanence of setting, the security of an address recognised from one generation to the next. In the 16th, elegance is a habit, never an effort.

Auteuil Muette Porte-Dauphine Chaillot
District 01 Heritage

Auteuil

Auteuil, the former village annexed by Paris in 1860, is the greenest and most secret quarter of the 16th. Its flower-filled private lanes, residential cul-de-sacs and Art Nouveau mansions hidden behind clipped hedges shelter a discreet and refined neighbourhood life. Property in the villas of Auteuil — the hameau Boileau, the villa Molitor — is very rare and much sought after.

District 02 Lively

Muette

Muette, around the Ranelagh gardens and avenue Mozart, is the family and diplomatic quarter of the 16th par excellence. Its large Haussmann apartments, bilingual schools and closeness to the Musée Marmottan make it a favourite with French and expatriate families alike. La Muette is often held to offer the best quality of life in the whole arrondissement.

District 03 Secret

Porte-Dauphine

Porte-Dauphine, around avenue Foch — the widest in Paris — and the Bois de Boulogne, is the smartest and most exclusive part of the 16th. The mansions of avenue Foch, the luxury apartments with private gardens and the historic houses of rue de la Faisanderie are the most expensive properties in the arrondissement.

District 04 Luxury

Chaillot

Chaillot, between the Trocadéro and the riverbank, is the most monumental and museum-rich part of the 16th. The Palais de Chaillot, the Musée d'Art Moderne and the Palais de Tokyo form a cultural centre of international standing. Apartments with a direct view of the Eiffel Tower from the streets around the Trocadéro are the most prestigious addresses in Paris.
