Overview

The sixteenth arrondissement is the further west area of Paris.  It borders on the Bois de Boulogne to the West, the 17th to the North and the 8th to the East.  It includes the Arc de Triomphe on the Place de l'Etoile, the Trocadéro with its views of the Eiffel Tower and the chic rue de Passy.  Many of the more upscale neighborhoods in Paris are located here, but they can get quiet at night.  It is a great area for business travellers because of its proximity to the Paris business district, La Defense.  The 16th borders on the world famous Champs-Elysées, and all of its lively happenings.
