16th Arr

Paris - 16th Arrondissement

If arrondissements were women, the 16th would be the exquisite Catherine Deneuve -- cool, with that certain je ne sais quoi, wearing Chanel, pearls and sipping Veuve Clicquot Champagne. Being haute residental, most people tend to ignore this arrondissement's tourist side -- and for the most part, that's understandable. But if you've already been to Paris once, the 16th might be the next best arrondissements to branch out and explore. In order of most-interesting on down, we recommend: the Trocadéro (with the gorgeous horse sculptures fountain and nicer take on the Eiffel Tower); a stroll down too-expensive-for-anyone Avenue Foch and up to place de l'Étoile to garner a different view of the Arc de Triomphe; the Bois de Boulogne (where one can go horseback riding, play tennis, even camp); Palais de Chaillot, Maison de Balzac, Musée de l'Homme, Musée du Vin, Musée Marmottan-Monet, Palais de Tokyo, Musée du Cristal de Baccarat, Cimetière de Passy, Musée de la Contrefaçon, and Musée du Cinéma Henri Langlois. Stay tuned for more. There's money here, so there will always be the new best thing taking place.
