The 15th arrondissement may not have a single monument that sums up its identity, that’s for sure, but that’s precisely what makes it interesting. Sprawling, residential and very lively, it’s made up of several neighborhoods that function almost like small, independent cities: Convention, Commerce, Vaugirard, Beaugrenelle or Porte de Versailles.
Near the Seine, Île aux Cygnes and the Parc André-Citroën offer welcome breaths of fresh air. Beaugrenelle benefits from the immediate proximity of the Eiffel Tower, while Paris Expo Porte de Versailles regularly draws both professional visitors and the general public.
Further into the 15th, the markets and the shopping streets reveal a much more everyday side of Paris. This broader map also allows for a wider range of terrace experiences. You’ll find quiet tables that locals stick to, bigger, livelier spots, and a few greenery-clad venues that are especially pleasant on sunny days.
Lunch outdoors, after-work drinks, or a break during a stroll? Here are the terraces to discover in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.
