Luxury private mansions in Paris 16th: an exceptional selection
Buying a private mansion in the 16th arrondissement means gaining access to the rarest and most coveted property on the Parisian market: a private residence, often set between courtyard and garden, designed for entertaining. BARNES selects luxury private mansions for sale in Paris 16th, the most residential arrondissement of western Paris, for French and international clients, and supports each buyer with discretion, from the first visit to the signing.
What is a private mansion in Paris?
Born in the 17th century in the Marais and later the Faubourg Saint-Germain, the hôtel particulier is a townhouse built for a single family, traditionally set between courtyard and garden. In the 19th century, under the Second Empire and the Belle Époque, aristocrats and the upper bourgeoisie built mansions in western Paris with sculpted stone façades, enfilade reception rooms and grand staircases. Today, only a handful of these exceptional residences come to market each season, often sold with complete discretion.
Where to buy a private mansion in the 16th arrondissement
The 16th arrondissement is home to some of the finest private mansions in Paris. Around avenue Foch and Porte Dauphine stand grand Second Empire residences, many of them embassies. In La Muette, the mansions bordering the Jardin du Ranelagh and boulevard Beauséjour open onto greenery, while in Chaillot the place des États-Unis and avenue d'Iéna are lined with Belle Époque mansions. In Auteuil, private lanes such as the Villa Montmorency shelter residences with gardens in absolute calm.
Architecture, volumes and sought-after features
Buyers look for 300 to over 1,000 m² spread over several levels, reception rooms with spectacular ceiling heights, a private garden or paved courtyard, a lift, parking and wellness areas in the basement (pool, spa, gym). Period parquet, wood panelling, fireplaces and glass roofs often sit alongside a high-end contemporary renovation that respects the heritage.
Living in the 16th arrondissement
The 16th arrondissement combines elegance with quality of life: the shops of rue de Passy and avenue Victor-Hugo, the Bois de Boulogne and the Jardin du Ranelagh, the museums of the Trocadéro, the Musée Marmottan Monet and the Fondation Louis Vuitton. Families will find renowned schools such as the Janson-de-Sailly and Molière lycées or the International School of Paris, in a calm and leafy setting.
