Notre avis d'expert sur le 16th arrondissement de Paris

Paris’s 16th arrondissement has always had a reputation for being expensive, bourgeois and far too quiet.
In fact, it’s about average for Parisian prices, ranking as the 10th most expensive arrondissement.

People don’t settle in this arrondissement for its lively nightlife, but for the vitality of its cultural offerings and lush green spaces.
Families and students are also well catered for, thanks to some of the capital’s most prestigious schools and universities.

The Passy and Victor Hugo arrondissements are historically highly sought-after. Your Parisian apartment hunter recommends the village of Auteuil for its more reasonable prices and “village” atmosphere.

A bit of History

Until its complete integration into the Thiers enclosure in 1860, the 16th arrondissement was made up of several autonomous villages outside Paris. In the 7th century, the bishop of Le Mans owned an estate within the boundaries of today’s arrondissement, with vineyards and a village called Nimio, which was later transferred to the diocese of Paris. The inhabitants of this original village split off to form 3 separate villages over the centuries. At the edge of the 8th arrondissement, the village of Chaillot, closest to Paris. The village of Passy comprised the Château de Boulainvilliers, built in 1381, and the Passy plain. Finally, the village of Auteuil was a place of tranquility where monks tended the land and vineyards.

The integration of these villages into Paris in 1860 was accompanied by the urban metamorphosis launched by Prefect Haussmann under Napoleon III. Major avenues were widened, such as today’s Avenue Victor-Hugo and Avenue Kléber. Facing the 15th arrondissement, Auteuil was opened up, with avenue Mozart linking it to the village of Passy, and rue Michel-Ange linking it to the Porte de Saint-Cloud. The Bois de Boulogne became part of this arrondissement in 1929. The 1937 World’s Fair saw the construction of the Palais de Chaillot and structure of the Place du Trocadéro. Today, the 16th arrondissement has become one of the epicenters of cultural life, with numerous museums and dedicated events.
