The postcard is familiar: the Tour Eiffel rises just opposite, across the Seine. The Trocadéro is a staple of the 16e arrondissement, but this expansive swath of the West Paris region offers plenty of other promenades. Passy and its shopping streets, the Bois de Boulogne, the Fondation Louis Vuitton, the Marmottan Monet Museum, and the Palais de Tokyo all help shape days that unfold in very different ways.
The district is also defined by a wealth of residential architecture, from Haussmannian blocks to Art Nouveau and Art Deco touches. Architecture enthusiasts can especially scope out Auteuil, while visitors seeking greenery can head to the Bois de Boulogne and the Jardin du Ranelagh.
This elegant image extends into the gourmet storefronts. Paris 16 indeed brings together, pastries, chocolatiers, bakeries, tea rooms and ice cream shops, with several renowned houses and local artisans less known to visitors.
Looking for a pastry after an exhibition, a few chocolates to take away, or a fuss‑free goûter? Here are the sweet spots to try in the 16th arrondissement.
