The West of Paris has plenty to surprise you. From La Muette to Porte Dauphine, via the chic districts of Auteuil and Passy and the Bois de Boulogne, the capital's green lung, Parisians and tourists alike find the luxury, calm and serenity so sought-after in Paris.
Discreet and bucolic, the above-mentioned districts are home to architectural gems - not for nothing did the famous French architect Le Corbusier make them his home - foundations dedicated to art and contemporary creation, charming parks and gardens that perfectly satisfy local residents' desire for greenery, must-see museums and some even more original ones.
And if you've got your wallet in a twist, there are plenty of bistronomic and gourmet restaurants in the area, before relaxing at the Auteuil or Longchamp racecourses. These beautiful districts are little-known and not often visited by tourists, but they're well worth an extended stop.
