Rent 1 bedroom apartment of 38 m² in Paris

Formerly a lumberjacks' village full of tranquil charm, The 16ème arrondissement kept its old-fashioned atmosphere with its picturesque and leafy Rue Berton, its previous residents have now made way for mansions, fashion boutiques and other luxury stores that line its streets, while the most famous labels line Passy's renowned shopping street. Yet the Passy district, accessible via the Metro station of the same name, also includes Balzac's house on Rue Raynouard. As the former home of the famous writer, who lived there from 1840 to 1847, it is now a listed Historical Monument. It houses a museum dedicated to Honoré de Balzac, with displays of manuscripts, handwritten letters and rare editions.
