Passy

The 16th arrondissement is Paris's most prestigious residential quarter. The Trocadéro offers the most famous perspective of the Eiffel Tower, while chestnut-lined streets shelter the capital's finest Haussmann buildings — cut-stone facades, ornate balconies and planted inner courtyards.

Passy and Auteuil, historic villages absorbed into Paris in 1860, retain a unique bucolic charm. Rue de Passy, an elegant shopping thoroughfare, and Rue d'Auteuil, with its Art Nouveau villas by Hector Guimard, present a face of Paris preserved from tourist tumult.

The Bois de Boulogne, an 846-hectare green lung, shelters the Jardin d'Acclimatation, the Pré Catelan and its Shakespeare Gardens, and the Longchamp and Auteuil racecourses. Le Pré Catelan*** (Frédéric Anton), nestled in a Napoleon III pavilion at the heart of the wood, offers one of Paris's most exclusive gastronomic experiences.

The Palais de Tokyo and the Musée d'Art Moderne concentrate the most audacious contemporary art. The Fondation Louis Vuitton, Frank Gehry's architectural masterpiece inaugurated in 2014, has become one of the world's most important cultural venues with its blockbuster exhibitions.

Musée Marmottan Monet holds the world's largest collection of Claude Monet works, including the founding painting "Impression, Sunrise" that gave the Impressionist movement its name. Musée Guimet possesses Europe's richest collection of Asian art.

Avenue Foch, Paris's widest avenue, links the Arc de Triomphe to the Bois de Boulogne. Its premium buildings house some of the world's most expensive residences, with prices reaching €30,000/m² and reception apartments sometimes exceeding €20 million.

Our concierge in the 16th orchestrates daily life for the most exacting families: enrolment in elite schools (Janson de Sailly, La Tour), exceptional property management, private events at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, dinners at Le Pré Catelan***, and privileged access to Longchamp races during the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
