Located minutes away from the Pont d’Alma, is our apartment.
With its ornate 19th-century buildings, large avenues, prestigious schools, museums, and various parks, the 16th arrondissem*nt has long been known as one of French high society’s favorite residential areas (comparable to New York’s Upper East Side or London’s Kensington and Chelsea) to such an extent that the phrase “le 16e” (French pronunciation: [l? s?zj?m]) has long been associated with great wealth in French popular culture. Indeed, the 16th arrondissem*nt is France’s fourth richest district for average household income, following the 8th, 7th, and 6th arrondissem*nts, and with the south of the 17th arrondissem*nt and Neuilly-sur-Seine, they form the most affluent and prestigious residential area in France.
The 16th arrondissem*nt hosts several large sporting venues, including the Parc des Princes, which is the stadium where Paris Saint-Germain football club plays its home matches; Roland Garros Stadium, where the French Open tennis championships are held; and Stade Jean-Bouin, home to the Stade Français rugby Union Club. The Bois de Boulogne, the second-largest public park in Paris (behind only the Bois de Vincennes), is also located in this arrondissem*nt.
From this “Quartier” (neighborhood) you can easily explore Paris' elegant 8th & 16th Arrondissem*nts. Climb to the top of the Arc de Triomphe and marvel at the grandeur of the Avenue des Champs Elysées leading to the glorious Place de la Concorde (where Louis the 16th and Marie-Antoinette met their demise during the French Revolution), the Jardin des Tuileries and finally arriving at the Louvre Museum. Fashionistas know Paris is the shopping capital of the world. Stroll along Avenue Montaigne and visit the boutiques of famous designers such as Dior, YSL, Chloe, Lanvin, Tod's, Cartier, Hermès and so on. Or simply enjoy an espresso or glass of wine and watch the world go by from a neighboring café. Of course, there are plenty of specialty food shops, patisseries & boulangeries in the neighborhood. Famous attractions such as the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, and Notre Dame are easily accessible from the apartment. Metros, buses, or taxis are convenient but walking is recommended as the most enjoyable way to become acquainted with this area of Paris. *** Scroll down for property location map.
Fantastic Neighborhood Outdoor Market: Marché Président Wilson
Location: Place d’léna on Wednesday and Saturday mornings 7 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Bursting with high-quality epicurean delights, this twice-weekly market attracts the city's top chefs and discerning foodies!
In front of Palais de Tokyo and running almost the length of Avenue Président-Wilson, this open air food market claims to be the largest of its kind in Paris. It may also be the most gourmet – go early in the morning to spot chefs and restaurateurs stocking up on fish, meat, fruit, vegetables, cheese and organic wine. The choice is eye-popping so take time to do several laps before choosing! At odds with the straight-laced 16th arrondissem*nt, stall owners banter with customers and call out their wares, often offering morsels to taste.
Highlights include Joel Thiébault’s long-established grocery stall, known for peddling veg so rare you may never have seen it before; JPB fishmongers with their rainbow of seafood and fish (all so fresh it’s practically still wriggling) and Maison Priolet, renowned for game and high-quality poultry. Don’t be alarmed if much of it still has feathers – this may be in the heart of one of the most chi-chi areas but this is a proper slice of Parisian gastronomy – tongues, tripe and all.
Great for apartment dwellers … unlike its counterparts, it does a mean range of hot food to takeaway too: Thai, Chinese, Lebanese, and Breton-style crepes. Carnivores: head for the butchers half way down – a stall piled high with Alsatian choucroute, vats of boeuf bourguignon, paella, pâte to suit every palate and rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes. Find a spot with a view onto the Seine and the Eiffel Tower to devour your bounty. Market bliss!
