 Paris is not just any city, it’s a mosaic of villages and neighbourhoods, each one with its own special identity, quite different from the others. You’ll soon fall under the spell of the contours, features and particular character of each one. Depending on your mood and taste, choose the Paris that appeals to you using our presentation of the principal Parisian districts. You’ll find details of the places mentioned in our information pages and a full description of everything each of these neighbourhoods has to offer in the guidebook Paris for you, published annually in French and in English by the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau. It is distributed free of charge in all our welcome centres.
Paris chic
 Passy, Bois de Boulogne, Auteuil
These districts in the west of Paris are in a class of their own. Beyond the heights of Chaillot lie the fashionable streets of Passy and La Muette, basking in the nostalgia of country houses of the past, where gentility rhymes with tranquillity, luxury and pleasure…
The time is long since past when men hunted bears, wild boar and wolves here before repairing to their hunting lodge at Bagatelle or in the Bois de Boulogne. So you can wander safely through the little streets of this district with its typical 1930s aura. Art Deco villas, small inner courtyards, secret gardens and old walls hidden under luxuriant vegetation – this district gives the   surprising impression of a corner of countryside in the city. The Balzac and Wine museums are two suggestions for relaxing and informative visits. A stone’s throw away, the Bois de Boulogne, originally part of the vast Rouvray forest, is one of the two “lungs” of the capital. The footpaths and paths marked for pedestrians, cyclists and horse-riders weave through the beautiful trees and for those who fancy a boat ride, there are two large lakes. A veritable health and nature experience. Then round it all off with the sports tour of the Tennis museum.
