An architectural gem! Built in 1872-73 by architect Émile Leménil, this street is unique in that it consists of 19 identical buildings, formerly used for industrial and craft purposes. Each one comprises three floors above two basements, a ground floor, and a mezzanine.

Erected in 1900 for the World’s Fair, this monumental gate forms a counterpart, on the garden side, to the main entrance of the Élysée Palace’s main courtyard. It is adorned with a rooster, the French emblem. Some visitors use this second entrance to the presidential palace for reasons of discretion.

A touch of the countryside in Paris! This picturesque cobbled street is lined with little houses adorned with flowers in fine weather. Continue your walk through Cité Bauer.

In the 1770s, the Duke of Chartres had a pavilion – a ‘folly’ – built in the heart of a French formal garden, which was later transformed into a larger Anglo-Chinese-style garden. Seized as national property during the Revolution, the park – which was in a sorry state and had been reduced in size – was redeveloped and inaugurated by Napoleon III in 1861 with the addition of new features: the gilded railings, the stream and its bridge, the waterfall and the grotto. It is one of the most elegant gardens in Paris.  

Inaugurated in 1869, this charming park covers some 15 hectares, where some 1,400 trees, most of them over a hundred years old, have been planted. It is the highest point on the Left Bank of Paris (78 meters).

The American Church of Paris is the first American church established outside France. The present building was constructed in 1931.
