The 10 Best Things to do in 16th Arr. - Passy, Ile-de-France

March 27, 2022 Oliva Fomby

Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Located in a 19th-century mansion, this museum's fabulous collection of Impressionist paintings ranks second only behind the Musée d'Orsay.

Beautiful museum a little way out of the city near the Bois de Boulogne, well worth the short trip, the Monets and the Morisot paintings are just a few of the lovely exhibits

We visited on a Friday lunchtime. It’s situated in a wing of the Palais de Tokyo and from the light flooded first few interior rooms you have views of the nearby Eiffel Tower, perfectly complimenting the large Robert Delaunays. We saw a Picasso head sculpture, many Dufys, superb Bonnards...including the masterpiece of Marthe in a bath. I was not keen on some of the work in other rooms...but as it’s free and there is so much good work to see you just speed up! Highly recommended.

Musee National des Arts Asiatiques - Guimet

This unique museum displays the personal collection of 19th-century East Asian art compiled by Émile Guimet.

Reviewed By paxa - Washington DC, United States

We always visit the Guimet when in Paris for its great collection of Asian Art. This time we were lucky to be just in time for the temporary exhibition "On the Tokaido Road", an extensive collection of 200 beautiful Japanese prints by Hiroshige and many other artists depicting the myriad scenes and spectacular landscapes on this important coastal road from the Edo period. An amazing collection rarely seen all in one place.

Arc de Triomphe

The Arc de triomphe was begun in 1806, on the orders of Napoleon I to honour the victories of his Grande Armée. Inspired by the great arches of antiquity, the monument combines the commemorative with the symbolic and it has always played a major role in the national republican consciousness. Every evening, the flame is lit on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier from the Great War. An exhibition portrays the history and explains its symbolic importance, nationally as well as internationally. The terrace provides superb views both by day and night across the city and its great sweeping avenues.-Opening hours : April to September: from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.; October to March: from 10 a.m. to 10.30 p.m.-Closed: 1st January, 1st May, 8th May (morning), 14th July (morning), 11th November (morning), 25th December-Entry fees: Adults = 9,5 €; Concessions = 6 €; Free admission: 18-25 years old* (citizens of one of the 27 countries of the EU or are non-European permanent residents of France) * excluding school groups

Palais de Chaillot

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia

The Palais de Chaillot is an exceptional building. From a distance it looks as if it is ready to fly with those huge wing spans ready to take off! It was built in 1937 for the Universal Exhibition and it is home to several museums and a theatre. There is also a restaurant on site. We first saw it from atop the Eiffel Tower and it was a wonderfully amazing sight.

This was beautiful, enchanting, and botanically interesting. Escape into another world. But if I understand correctly,an ugly roland garros tennis court stadium will destroy it. What an ugly american thing to do...is this really Paris...is this really France. If true, no different than anywhere else. Paving paradise for a parking lot, I mean tennis stadium. Until then, see this beauty,so meticulously maintained. Tell me this not true.

This is a beautiful corner of the Boulogne Park, notable for the massive and perfect rose gardens. So come in the spring when they are in bloom. Do some research as to which bus to take from the Metro, otherwise you have to walk about 30 minutes or take a cab. It's just lovely.
