Durée 2 heures

Why we recommend it

"A visit off the beaten path that shows an authentic but little-known Paris. The guide really knows their neighborhood and shares anecdotes you won't find in any guidebook. Perfect for those who want to see Paris differently, away from the crowds of the Champs-Élysées."

The Quoi Faire à Paris team

The experience

The 16th is the Paris of embassies, private mansions and wide avenues where you see more Bentleys than Vélib' bikes. This 2-hour walk shows you a district that even Parisians don't know well. You start at Trocadéro with its stunning view of the Eiffel Tower, then dive into the bourgeois streets where Art Nouveau meets Haussmannian architecture. The highlight? Auteuil village, a real little countryside corner in the middle of the city, with its cobbled streets and low houses that once housed artists and writers. You finish with an escape into Bois de Boulogne to catch your breath. Your local guide tells you the little stories of this neighborhood where money doesn't show but can be felt.

Highlights

  • Panoramic view of Eiffel Tower from Trocadéro
  • Exceptional Art Nouveau and Haussmannian architecture
  • Auteuil village and its secret streets
  • Ranelagh gardens and their old-world charm
  • Nature walk in Bois de Boulogne
