About Chaillot
Where to stay in Chaillot
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Museums are the reason to book here. Chaillot gathers the Guimet Museum, the palais de Tokyo, the Musée d'art moderne de Paris and the Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine within one quarter of the 16th arrondissement, which is a heavy concentration by any measure. The Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile is listed.
Beds closer to Avenue de la Grande-Armée put the northern boundary at the door, while the Passy side leads southwest out of the quarter.
About Chaillot
What are the main landmarks in Chaillot?
The Eiffel Tower heads the list. Chaillot also carries the Musée du quai Branly, the palais de Tokyo, the Guimet Museum and the Musée de l'Homme, with the Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine and the Musée des monuments français on the same list. Smaller collections crowd in.
The Musée Baccarat, the Musée du Vin, the Musée de la Contrefaçon and the Paris Sewer Museum are all entered, as are the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the Église Saint-Pierre-de-Chaillot.
What is the history of Chaillot?
Chaillot arrives without a founding year. The entry places the quarter in the 16th arrondissement on the Right Bank and gives it two edges, Passy to the southwest and Avenue de la Grande-Armée to the north, then stops. Its churches keep the dates.
The Église Saint-Pierre-de-Chaillot, the Église Saint-Philippe-du-Roule and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral each carry a past the record itself does not spell out, as do the Palais Galliera and the Palais de la Découverte.
Where is Chaillot?
Avenue de la Grande-Armée bounds Chaillot to the north, and Passy adjoins the quarter to its southwest inside the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
