The 17th arrondissement mutates in character, depending on the metro stop you exit at. In the Batignolles, the narrow streets, the market and the independent shops give the neighborhood a relaxed vibe. Near the Martin Luther King Park, the newer buildings tell a story of a more contemporary Paris.
Heading toward the Monceau Plain, broad avenues and Haussmannian façades take the lead, while the place des Ternes and the Porte Maillot inject a more commercial and cosmopolitan vibe, just a few minutes from the Arc de Triomphe. This patchwork makes the 17e arrondissement a particularly pleasant area to explore, without limiting yourself to a single neighborhood!
When the weather turns nice, its terraces become genuine extensions of the neighborhood’s social life. The Batignolles host many of them, but it would be a shame to overlook the tables in Ternes, Pereire, or in the areas around Monceau! Some are perfect for people-watching the district, others favor a quieter or greener setting.
So, for a coffee, a lunch, or simply a drink in the sun, here are the terraces to discover in the 17th arrondissement!
