16 ARRONDISSEMENT Trocadero – Passy – Bois de Boulogne
The 16 arrondissement stretches south-west from the Arc the Triomphe to the Bois de Boulogne. It includes the high-class residential districts of Auteil, Passy and the famous Avenue Foch, also many sporting venues as the Stade Roland Garros, the Parc de Princes (Paris Stadium) and the Stade Francais of the Rugby Union. It is considered the neighbourhood for the wealthy people, probably the most expensive in Paris. There are not many tourist attractions here, but yet deserves a visit.
