About Ternes
Where to stay in Ternes
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Beds in Ternes divide between the Gare de la Porte Maillot end, which suits early arrivals, and the quieter parish streets around the Église Saint-Ferdinand-des-Ternes. Museums here are small. The Musée d'Ennery, the musée Dapper and the Musée arménien de France all keep specialist collections.
The Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile marks the tallest of the options.
About Ternes
What are the main landmarks in Ternes?
Ternes counts more churches than anything else. The Église Saint-Ferdinand-des-Ternes, the Church of St Odile and the Église Notre-Dame-de-Compassion stand within Ternes, with the église Saint-Justin de Levallois-Perret and the Temple protestant de Neuilly-sur-Seine just beyond. Collections come from the Musée d'Ennery, the musée Dapper and the Musée arménien de France.
The Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile rises among them. Transport and sport close the quarter out, with the Gare de la Porte Maillot, the stade Paul Faber and the centre sportif Courcelles.

Memory clusters near the boundary. The Statue équestre du Duc d'Orléans, Neuilly-sur-Seine and the Monument to Jean-Rodolphe Perronet stand close to Ternes, and the Église Notre-Dame-de-Compassion carries a commemorative name of its own. The Musée arménien de France keeps an Armenian collection in the quarter.
A club and two houses fill out the older record: Le cercle Foch, the Hôtel de Monpelas and the Maison Sainte-Anne.
