A great place to live in

Often referred to as a village, Auteuil has changed very little since being annexed to Paris. It is a peaceful corner of the city far from the lively turmoil of Paris, where artists and famous figures, including Benjamin Franklin, Jean-Baptiste La Chapelle, Condorcet, and Molière, were known to retreat. There are also many bookshops selling modern collections as well as rare works.

A stylish district a stone's throw from Boulogne

The annual Roland Garros tennis tournament welcomes tennis fans. Within the Bois de Boulogne itself, the Serres d'Auteuil greenhouses form a vast botanical garden open to the public. Auteuil is also known for its antique dealers and collectors of antique furniture and jewelry, particularly around the Exelmans, Porte d'Auteuil, and Molitor metro stations. On the north side of the district is the Maison de la Radio. The public can visit a museum dedicated to the history of radio and television, as well as the premises of this famous Maison Ronde and its recording studios.

A district with good transportation connections

The fairly extensive Auteuil district is accessible from many stations via metro lines 9 and 10, including Exelmans, Porte d'Auteuil, and Molitor. It is a quiet, residential district with a fairly old population. There are specialized galleries for collectors, stylish boutiques, and a few businesses including grocery stores, health centers, and pastry shops.
