To the west of the capital, the 16th arrondissement of Paris is renowned as one of the City of Light’s most beautiful districts. While it’s known for its residential vibe, Paris 16 is filled with monuments and stylish spots that are well worth a detour.
Historically, the arrondissement brought together three old villages that lay on the city’s outskirts, names that today live on as the district’s quarters: Auteuil, Passy and Chaillot. Nowadays, the Bois de Boulogne sits on the edge of the arrondissement, home notably to the Fondation Louis Vuitton, the Jardin d'Acclimatation, as well as the Stade Roland-Garros and the Paris-Longchamp Hippodrome.
Among the most iconic places in the 16th arrondissement are the Trocadéro Square and its unmistakable vantage point over the Eiffel Tower, the Palais de Chaillot, which houses both the eponymous theatre and the Musée de l'Homme, the Musée de la Marine and the Cité de l'Architecture.
