Jasmin, a peaceful district in the west If you are looking for a peaceful area for your vacation in Paris, look no further than Jasmin. A quiet corner of Paris A residential district in the former commune of Auteuil. The communes of Auteuil and Passy were annexed to the French capital in 1860. The streets around Jasmin metro station are very quiet. The buildings are modest and the streets are only really livened up by residents passing through. Nestled between the Seine and the Bois de Boulogne, the area surrounding Rue Jasmin is often overlooked. Luxury houses stand alongside more modest constructions. Nevertheless, the 16th arrondissement as a whole still has a reputation as a bourgeois district. Auteuil was once a simple village before being taken over by the city. It is worth noting that the district is considered to be the greenest in the capital. The population density does, however, remain high. Some would say that this part of Paris has kept its village feel. Things to see in the surrounding area On the edge of the city, don't miss the opportunity to explore the Bois de Boulogne. Covering over 2,000 acres, it is a vital organ that breathes life into Paris. It is made up of Parc de Bagatelle and the Jardin du Pré-Catelan. There are also the greenhouses of Auteuil and the very popular Jardin d'Acclimatation. Between the trees, the great waterfall adds to the magic and freshness of the place. Just before the Bois de Boulogne stands the Hippodrome Auteuil, renowned for its races. On the city side, it is worth making your way back to the Seine via the unusual architecture of the Maison de la Radio. If you have an interest in architecture or urban development, or if you are just curious about culture, the Fondation Le Corbusier in the Square du Docteur Blanche invites you to discover the life and work of an important 20th century figure. On Rue de l’Yvette, the Musée Bouchard can be found in the sculptor's workshop. Transportation and businesses Although it doesn’t constitute the liveliest neighborhood in the capital, the area surrounding Rue Jasmin does still have plenty of local services, including various eateries and very practical little food shops. To get to the center of Paris, metro line 9 stops at the Jasmin and Ranelagh stations. If the atmosphere of the Jasmin district appeals to you, why not take a look at our list of apartments?
