Arrondissement 16, exclusivity in Paris
The Arrondissement 16 of Paris is one of the most residential of the city. There, live the richest people and you can also buy in the most exclusive boutiques. If you are interested in shopping, go to Rue de Passy!
If you are into modern art, visit Palais de Tokyo. There you will visit lots of free exhibitions of modern art.
In the sixteenth arrondissement, you can also visit the house of Honoré de Balzac, one of the greatest French writers. In the same building, you can visit the museum dedicated to him.
Anyway, arrondissement 16 is famous because of two attractions: Bois de Boulogne and Place de l’Etoile. Find out why!

Arrondissement 16, two great landmarks
Bois de Boulogne is one of the main landmarks of the arrondissement 16. It is a huge park designed by J.C.A. Alphand. It is the biggest park in Paris with Bois de Vincennes.
When you go there you can go to the lake with its islands, to the waterfall, to the gardens of Pré Catalan and Acclimatation. There is also a garden with greenhouses.
Another attraction that I like about Bois de Boulogne is the Arts and Popular Traditions Museum that you can visit remaining in the park.
The other great landmark of the 16th arrondissement of Paris is Place de l’Etoile. It is so-called because of its star-shaped plan. Etoile stands for “star” in French.
The name of the square is Charles-de-Gaulle. From there, you can walk through six of the most important boulevards of Paris. One of them takes to the Arch of Triumph in Champs-Elysees.
