Arrondissement 16

169,372 people live in the 16th district.  74.5% of these residents were born in metropolitan France and 12.5% are non-European immigrants.  This district is really fun and full of things to do.  From museums to parks to the aquarium, you will not run out of cool places to go.  It also has the best view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.  If you are staying in this district then you could go spend a few nights at Hotel le Singulier for €210 a night for a double room.  And there is no need to worry because you will be able to find a market with everything you need nearby.


A dozen eggs: € 1,78
1 liter of Milk: € 1,98
Steak p/kg: € 22,88
 
Tourist Attraction:
The Musee Galliera or former Musee de la Mode is an attraction you should check out.  This is the Museum of Fashion.  Paris has been a hub for fashion for a very long time so the amount of fashion history that those walls contain is incredible.  The French are very proud of their fashion so it would be something you should check out if you have time while you are visiting.  You can find this gem at 10, Avenue Pierre 1er de Serbie, Rue de Galliera



Amazing Architectural Attractions:
The Palais du Trocadero or Palais de Chaillot is one of the best places in Paris to take a picture of the Eiffel Tower.  Because of that it is sometimes not recognized as an amazing building by itself.  It has two completely separate wings with a courtyard between.  According to AViewOnCities.com it was built for the world fair in 1878 and then redesigned for the world fair in1937.  It also houses two museum; the naval museum and the museum of man. 


Today’s Business Shout Out!
Today this shout out goes to Haagen- Dazs!  This company from Brooklyn, New York has captured the hearts of people all over the world and if it has your heart then have no fear because you can find it in Paris as well.  However, prices are insane, especially because you’re paying for things in euros instead of dollars.  But if it’s your cup of tea then please enjoy!




The Most Interesting Thing I Found:
If you are staring at the Palais de Chaillot then on your right you will see an aquarium.  If you walk towards the aquarium and cross the street you will find a little park on Avenue Albert De Mun.  It has an awesome view of the Eiffel Tower as well but without all the tourist craziness that you encounter at other more popular spots for pictures.  You could go there at night with your sweetheart to watch it light up or visit during the day and get some really nice pictures and enjoy the cute little park area.

District 16 has a lot of other museums and hidden gems that you could visit if you have time.  If not, Au revoir!
