Muette

High-end apartments to rent in La Muette

Renting in La Muette means choosing the charm of the former village of Passy, between lively shops, gardens and elegant avenues. Our selection of prestige apartments for rent, furnished or unfurnished, is designed for families, international executives and diplomats wishing to settle in one of the most sought-after districts of western Paris. Each high-end rental is chosen for the quality of its volumes, its finishes and its location.

Neighbourhood life and lifestyle in La Muette

At the heart of the former village of Passy, La Muette offers one of the liveliest neighbourhood lives in the 16th arrondissement. The rue de Passy and its boutiques, the covered Passy market, the food shops of rue de l'Annonciation and the café terraces of the chaussée de la Muette create a vibrant yet refined daily life. The Jardin du Ranelagh, extended by the Bois de Boulogne, and the planted walkway of the Petite Ceinture provide welcome green space. The area takes its name from the Château de la Muette, a former royal hunting lodge whose grounds now house the headquarters of the OECD.

International schools and family life

The educational offer is among the most complete in Paris: the Lycée Molière, the Saint-Jean-de-Passy school, the nearby Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague school (Franklin) and the International School of Paris, whose 16th-arrondissement campuses welcome children from international families. A major asset for expatriates and Parisian families alike.

Architecture and types of apartments in La Muette

Avenue Mozart, avenue Paul-Doumer, boulevard Beauséjour and rue de la Pompe are lined with Haussmann and post-Haussmann buildings in dressed stone, Art Nouveau and Art Deco façades and a few private mansions bordering the Ranelagh. Perched on the Passy hill, rue Raynouard offers open views over the Seine and the Eiffel Tower.

You will find large family apartments with wraparound balconies, parquet floors, mouldings and fireplaces, high-floor apartments with Eiffel Tower views, apartments with terraces in 1930s buildings, duplexes and, more rarely, private mansions. Charming pieds-à-terre, always in demand, also contribute to the area's reputation.

Landmarks and iconic addresses

The area is home to the Musée Marmottan Monet, which holds the world's largest collection of works by Claude Monet, including Impression, Sunrise, the Maison de Balzac on rue Raynouard, the Château de la Muette and the Jardin du Ranelagh. Down below, the Seine embankments lead to the Île aux Cygnes and its replica of the Statue of Liberty.
