Developed as a wealthy residential area in the 19th century, the 16th has maintained its exclusive character. The 1937 World's Fair transformed Trocadéro into one of the city's great architectural set pieces. The Musée Marmottan holds the world's largest Monet collection, yet rarely draws the crowds of the Orsay.
Quiet, refined, and wealthy. Beautiful Haussmannian architecture but can feel subdued after dark. This is not a neighborhood for nightlife or spontaneity. Come for the museums, the parks, and the Trocadéro at sunrise — arguably the best view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
