AUTEUIL-SUD
A small Parisian village with a cosy and charming atmosphere, the Auteuil-Sud district is a real corner of tranquillity with surprising architecture.
Bordered on one side by the Bois de Boulogne and on the other by the Seine, the Auteuil-Sud district is a small haven of peace. Its many green spaces, its quiet and flowery streets, its beautiful private villas and its small chic shops, give it a village atmosphere, on the fringe of the Parisian ardour.
A favourite haunt of Hector Guimard, a figure of Art Nouveau in France, the district of Auteuil-Sud is punctuated by numerous architectural wonders. As you walk through its streets, you can rediscover his work, his stylistic evolution and his experiments. In the rue Boileau, there are a few masterpieces, including the Hôtel Danois, which today houses the Algerian embassy. A well-chosen residence, since this Art Nouveau building is strongly inspired by oriental architecture.
The district also has a few secret corners with a bucolic style, only known to local residents. Amongst them, the Boileau hamlet is home to a concentration of atypical dwellings, allowing us to discover, in its hidden alleys, a Swiss chalet, a Norman cottage or a surprising Arab palace.
