Location
An exceptional location in the 16th arrondissement

La Maison de la Radio - Radio Eat

Located at the bottom of the Rue du Ranelagh, 150m from the hotel, Radioeat is on the first floor of the Maison de la Radio. It has a very 70's atmosphere, all curves and wood, with a panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower and the towers of the Front de Seine. Designed by the architect Stéphane Maupin and managed by the famed actor Eric Wapler, the restaurant has a menu by Thierry Brassard that balances European and Asian inspirations. On the plate, a grilled sea bream the menu calls ‘adorable’, accompanied by mango and aubergine confit, or beetroot hummus and chickpeas. Dessert lovers will find the cheesecake irresistible. And for a last drink with a view of the Eiffel Tower, we recommend the Belair on the floor above.

Jean-Michel Breizh Bistro

Next to the Maison de la Radio, this new address makes our mouths water just by reading the menu and the wine too with incredible natural bottles. This bistro is a nugget ! The owner loves Brittany, to hear everything that is true and authentic. We recommend it very much. Life is a boat ⛵️

Le Brach

Customers rush to the Brach restaurant, which has become one of the hotspots of the 16th. In the large dining area, you’ll recognise the style of Philippe Starck in the furniture, but what will strike you the most is the layout of the premises. You first pass a counter filled with the wonderful pâtisseries of Yann Brys, Meilleur Ouvrier de France winner, then a long bar where you can see the team working in the kitchens, which open into the room. Chef Adam Bentalha offers dishes - in small portions – that are an ecstasy of flavours and textures. For a starter, you’ll be torn between the artichoke salad, sea bream tartare or hummus. For the main course, why not try the octopus tentacles à la plancha with black olives and confit tomatoes or the poached sole fillets and vegetable riviera with fennel salt? The team strives to satisfy the very demanding customers of the north 16th arrondissement. Not an easy task...

La Rotonde
A few months ago, the famous family brasserie, an institution in the Muette district, underwent some renovation, courtesy of the design studio Roman & Williams of New York. Rather than indulging in a certain nostalgia, the place has received a real facelift, with walnut woodwork, wooden ceiling, brass table lamps and leather seats. On the menu, a croque-monsieur, a croque-madame, beef tartare, spaghetti bolognaise, sea bass fillet à la plancha, veal sirloin steak with cream and button mushrooms and artisanal andouillette, among other delights.

Le Bois
In the heart of the Muette district, the Bois brasserie has certainly made a name for itself. Its bistronomic and creative cuisine is homemade using fresh produce. Its starred chef Alexis Mathey sources ingredients from local producers and finds inspiration in world travel to create his signature dishes such as tuna tataki with sesame and crisp vegetables or wok-cooked poultry. Connoisseurs of good meat will find their pleasure with the 300g steak cooked over a wood fire, accompanied by a sublime Béarnaise. Also note the selection of homemade desserts worthy of the greatest pâtissiers.

Brasserie Auteuil
The Brasserie Auteuil, located in the street of the same name, is perennially popular. With its interior design by Laura Gonzalez evoking a very warm Tuscan vibe, the Brasserie Auteuil is an unusual place that spans several floors. There’s a café, a bar, a brasserie, a terrace and even a rooftop. The restaurant has taken over the entirety of the old SNCF railway station. The ambiance of the various spaces is certainly diverse. The restaurant gives pride of place to Italian specialties such as squid à la romaine, arancini, smoked burrata, Neapolitan pizzas, Milanese veal cutlets and more. Don’t miss the lovely rooftop hung with foliage and dotted with colourful banquettes.

Brasserie Paris Longchamp
Decorated by the Studio Be-Poles (The Barn, Wild & the Moon), the Brasserie Paris Longchamp ticks all the boxes as the perfect foodie hot spot for enjoying the sun this spring. Located in the heart of the Hippodrome racecourse, it offers a mainly locavore cuisine that is impeccably sourced and features platters to share, whole artichoke, sea bass carpaccio, rib steak and homemade fries, linguine with vegetables, chocolate mousse, strawberry whipped cream... To be savoured in the bright surroundings of the restaurant or on the beautiful tree-lined terrace.

Mamie par Jean Imbert
After launching the Swan with Pharrell Williams in Miami and B.B, the trendy restaurant of the Blanche club, in Paris, Jean Imbert made a 180-degree turn. Remembering Sundays spent cooking with his grandmother, Mamie, the chef pictures her by his side. Located between the walls of the Acajou, this is a hugely appealing restaurant with a retro ambiance and is fully attuned to fresh produce and the turning of the seasons. On the menu? A sea bream gratin with mushrooms, pullet with mash and herb juice followed by a chocolate mousse and a surprise snow egg created in partnership with Cédric Grolet.

Huîtres et Saumons de Passy
Close to the Maison de Balzac, Huîtres et Saumons de Passy is the new seafood restaurant opened by Victor Seisson-Dirat and Timothée Berthet, the leading lights behind the delightful épicerie next door, which offers good wine and fine seafood. The duo’s latest enterprise has a Scandinavian-inspired decor with cognac leather benches and light wooden tables. On the menu? A farandole of dishes with Nordic flavours: salmon eggs and blinis, tarama truffle, tender octopus and even golden scallops. Nothing is left to chance.

MEDITERRANEAN STOPOVER

Non solo Cucina, Pane e Olio
Without hesitation, we recommend both Non Solo Cucina, 100 metres from the hotel, in the same street, and Pane e Olio, 117 Avenue Mozart, close to the Jasmin Metro station! Giuseppe Messina fell into a pasta pot as a child. Originally from Cefalù, a chic seaside resort in the north of Sicily, near Palermo, he validates the cliché of the bambino who’s always in the kitchen clinging to the skirts of his nonna (grandmother). In 1998, he joined his brother Ignazio, also a chef, in Paris. In 2000, they opened their first trattoria together, Aux Amis des Messina. Then Giuseppe moved from the kitchen to the office and, in 2009, went his own way and settled in the 16th arrondissement, on the Rue du Ranelagh, under the banner of Non Solo Cucina. He then opened a new establishment, Pane e Olio. Located in the Avenue Mozart, this Sicilian tavern provided a delicious opportunity for the Italian chef to revisit the recipes of his childhood. On the menu? Beignets de chou-fleur de Uncle Pasquale, caponata chicken de Papa Salvatore, beautiful veal chops served with the famous Messina family sauce, tiramisu de Mamma Lina... To be enjoyed in the colourful setting of the restaurant or on the terrace.

Daroco 16
Parisians are already crazy about the previously established Daroco in the heart of Paris, so Daroco 16 has some big shoes to fill, and does so in style. Instead of the old Zebra, we find Alexandre Giesbert, Julien Ross and Romain Glize at the helm, once again proving that Italian cuisine is constantly gaining ground in the capital. Amidst the amazing decor of marble, brass and shimmering reflections designed by Francesca Errico, diners sit on velvety armchairs and banquettes to experience a hugely appealing cuisine that reinterprets the best of Italy. Starting with crispy arancini, creamy burrata and colourful tomatoes, sardines served with smoked ricotta and grilled pistachios, the dinner continues with tasty pizzas cooked in a traditional oven, gourmet linguine with lemon or ravioli with stracciatella and tomato sauce. The cherry on the cake? The homemade desserts (tiramisu, chocolate mousse, gelati ...).

Bistro Mavrommatis Passy
The three Mavrommatis brothers bring their Cypriot origins to bear in one of the capital’s most appealing eateries. Here, from hot sandwiches to take away or enjoy in the mezze cellar, to the dishes served in the dining area on the first floor, everything is focussed on the gastronomy of the Mediterranean basin. The fresh ingredients used on site are checked every day by the Michelin-starred chef. A selection of groceries and carefully selected beauty products are also available.

Tapas
Ensemble on the Rue Spontini is the latest project of restaurateurs Mathieu Darmont and Aude Bourguignon, as well as chef Jérôme Moinard (already famed for his work at Tous). In a refined décor designed by Nathan Brami that mixes copper-coloured walls, brass lighting fixtures and grey velvet armchairs, you can share (or not) beautiful little dishes capable of seducing all palates (veggies, carnivores, pescatarians…). Bringing together Italian and Asian influences, the menu offers a fabulous salmon tartare with herbs and pickled ginger; a tender Puglia burratina with truffle oil; a pot-au-feu cromesquis and tartar sauce; a chestnut & parmesan risotto, not forgetting the salted butter caramel cheesecake and honey roasted figs. Not to be missed!

GASTRONOMIC

Le Pré catelan – cuisine française
Frédéric Anton and his three stars settled into a lovely spot here in the Bois de Boulogne, in a very chic Napoleon III style pavilion. Le Pré Catelan is considered one of the foremost Parisian restaurants. On the menu are sea urchins (small fluffy flan, lightly aromatic celery, fine paprika jelly), Breton lobster (roast, gourmet peas flavoured with garlic, capers and mushrooms ...), sardine curry...
Route de Suresnes - 75016 Paris  - 01 44 14 41 14 - leprecatelan.com

L' Astrance – cuisine française
To get a table at l'Astrance you must book at least a month in advance, which gives you some idea of its success. With its two Michelin Guide stars, it offers an exciting experience for the epicure... You’ll appreciate the very contemporary decor and the cuisine of chef Pascal Barbot that is prepared in accordance with the seasonally available ingredients and served by Christophe Rohat in the dining area.
4, rue Beethoven - 75016 Paris - 01 40 50 84 40 - astrancerestaurant.com

L’Archeste
L'Archeste offers several formulas with 3 or 5 courses for lunch and 7 courses for dinner. All carefully prepared by chef Yoshiaki Ito. Awarded a star by the red guide after only five months of existence, this restaurant led by its Japanese chef is one to watch.
79, rue de la Tour - 75016 Paris -  01 40 71 69 68 - archeste.com

Substance
Stéphane Manigold, chef Matthias Marc and Anthony Pedrosa launched Substance on the Rue de Chaillot. A delightful restaurant that revisits the classics of cuisine and adds the seasoning of a modern twist. For starters you can enjoy a crispy egg, grilled artichoke with sesame vinaigrette or a scallop carpaccio served with a hay vinaigrette. Dinner continues with a spelt and vegetable risotto or tender veal before concluding with a delicious Sao Tome chocolate soufflé and fir ice cream. The cellar rises to the occasion with great vintages and lesser-known regional wines that rub glass shoulders with an extensive selection of champagnes.

HOT SPOTS

Girafe
Situated in the heart of the Cité de l’Architecture in Paris, Girafe swiftly joined the 16th arrondissement’s foodie hotspots, having only opened its doors last summer. The latest project of Gilles Malafosse and Laurent Gourcuff, the fine team who previously made a mark at Monsieur Bleu and Loulou, this restaurant’s interiors were designed by Joseph Dirand. Immersed in the spirit of the 30s, visitors discover a delightful décor that brings together cream banquettes, a marble bar, tropical plants, original pilasters and more, all in perfect harmony. Chef Benoît Dargère takes the helm in the kitchen. Seahouse style fish, shellfish and seafood in general parade across the plates in all its diversity. The classics in ultra-fresh trays, the raw version in the form of a ceviche and sashimi, but also expertly golden (lobster, sole, turbot, etc.), in accordance with whatever catches arrive in the kitchen. This restaurant also boasts a superb terrace where you can be one-on-one with the Eiffel Tower.

The Grands Verres at the Palais de Tokyo
Behind the stove is Preston Miller, an American fan of neo-Mediterranean cuisine who has graced the finest restaurants in Seattle, Boston and New York with his talent. Behind the bar is Hyacinthe Lescoët, representing a whole new generation of very exacting bartenders. The menu is relatively short (phew) and changes regularly. The dishes, imbued with the ‘eco-responsible’ spirit of the creators of the place, are as beautiful to look at as they are good to eat.

HEALTHY

Holiday Café
Hidden in the depths of the 16th arrondissement, not far from the Porte de Saint-Cloud, the Holiday Café is the haunt of a crowd of fashion journalists and trendy stylists. The place was inspired by the legendary Holiday magazine itself. On the menu is a granola comprised of cottage cheese, organic muesli, honey and seasonal fruit and cream. We bet your entire meal will end up on Instagram. We’re not kidding!
Holiday Café - 192 Avenue de Versailles, PARIS 16th Metro Porte de Saint-Cloud
Open Tuesday to Thursday from 09:00 to 17:00, Friday to Saturday from 09:00 to 22:00, Sunday from 09:00 to 15:00, closed Monday - +33 (0) 1.422.490.21

Thé cool
In the mid-1980s, this tearoom launched its iconic ‘Starlette’ gâteau with 0% fat white cheese long before the fashion for high protein diets. As a result, success shone on this establishment and it continued to make detox delicious with the likes of its five vegetables gâteau, fresh fruit cocktails, etc. And in keeping with the chic tone of the neighbourhood, the interior decor, redone three years ago, is by Sarah Lavoine. No wonder the locals and regulars feel such passion for this peaceful place.

Diet Kate Café 
Kate was in communications before a change of career led her to open her healthy canteen and become a naturopath (specialising in nutrition) at the same time. There’s no high concept here; it’s a real canteen that focusses on the home-made, healthy and organic while offering irresistible temptation. Witness the huge cakes that make every customer gaze in awe upon entering the Café. Under bells, the cheesecake, chiffon cake and carrot cake are proudly displayed on the counter. Kate offers different diet bowls every day. You might want to opt for the original pink couscous with quinoa, beetroot, chickpeas and Chinese grapefruit. It’s generous, fresh, healthy and deliciously seasoned. Each dish has pep, just like the sharp decor.

PARIS BY NIGHT

Le Bel Air, Maison de la radio
On the second floor of the Maison de la Radio, you’ll find this great bar, the Belair, which boasts the best afterwork ambiance in western Paris. A wealth of cocktail options, a breathtaking view of the retro-futuristic towers of the Quai de Grenelle, Stéphane Maupin architecture, an indie playlist rocking a luminous dance floor, velvet banquettes... This speakeasy offers the utopia of a semi-exclusive club where you can rub shoulders with a wildly enthusiastic social scene afloat on an ocean of light. The Maison de la Radio even records live broadcasts there… The impeccable staff will guide you when you’re choosing from the wealth of à la carte creations. The Call Me Back, a cocktail mixing mezcal and avocado (€12) swings a double uppercut and rings the beginning of the intoxication. If your energy level drops, a la carte snacks are on hand to replenish empty stomachs!

Cravan
Vermouth, picon and curação. Take advantage of being in the 16th arrondissement to try a neighbourhood cocktail. And not just any cocktail; this is the Trocadéro. In this charming micro-bar, you’ll forget the passing of time and your increasing intoxication. Inspired by Oscar Wilde’s nephew, the poet and boxer Arthur Cravan (who dreamed of opening a cafe), the Cravan is set up within the walls of a former coffee shop. The place is unique, with its Hector Guimard facade, glazed earthenware and mirrors, glass ceiling, etc. And behind the huge zinc bar, mixologist Franck Audoux weaves liquid enchantments. He’s never stingy with tasting advice and also offers dishes evocative of evenings at home, but better (scrambled eggs, croque madame, steak…).

Manko
In this astonishing place that’s half restaurant and half cabaret, the great Peruvian chef Gastón Acurio shows off the cuisine of his country, a cuisine that has been inspired by just about all the cultures of the world, from Europe to Japan, and from China to Africa. The former Drouot auction house has been completely redesigned by Laura Gonzalez, a Parisian architect with strong convictions. Here she wanted gilding, warm colours, noble materials (terracotta tiles, tables and chairs in fine wood, with golden patinas and aged silver leaf). It’s all inspired by South America, and the Andes in particular, without falling into caricature. Gastón Acurio is a star in his country, the first great Peruvian chef to promote the cuisine of the Andes all over the world. There’s ceviche and tiraditos in plenty (marinated fish reign supreme) but you can also enjoy Peruvian grilled meats (octopus or flank steak from the Amazon region) or a vegetarian quinoa burger, then finish with a maracuya passion fruit cream, banana crisps, chocolate, or tonka bean ice cream. So that the capital’s night owls can hit the dance floor, the club offers live concerts every Friday and Saturday evening, plus surprises until the end of the night! From midnight to 05:00 on those evenings, Manko - The Club has a happy crowd dancing the night away as soon as the doors of the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, just a stone's throw away, close.
With its chic but festive atmosphere, this club hosts a live concert in the first part of the evening until 01:30 with a New House Disco vibe before piling on surprise after surprise with guests and celebrities until the dawn of a new day.
15 Avenue Montaigne, 75008 Paris - 01 82 28 00 15 - manko-paris.com

Matignon
Near the Avenue Montaigne and opposite the gardens of the Théâtre Marigny you’ll find the club restaurant called the Matignon. The Parisian clientele includes artists, international dandies and celebrities. This place is vibrant every day and at all hours, whether you want a breakfast on the terrace, brunch on the veranda or a cocktail at the club bar. For dinner, the Matignon offers some delightfully cosy spaces infused with refinement and sensual modernity. Jacques Garcia designed the interiors of the restaurant with its iconic chandeliers, chainmail and majestic mirrors. To add a chic touch to the modern gastronomy, DJs fill the evenings with the sound of their sets. Around 23:00, the club and the bar open their doors. The décor of this Parisian nightspot par excellence is the work of Charles Tassin. The designer pays homage to the safari-club of yesteryear by mixing 70's fabrics, leopard print carpets and Impressionist canvases. With its cult evenings, the Matignon is a dance hub of the capital.
3 Avenue Matignon - 75008 Paris - 01 42 89 64 72 - matignon-paris.com

There’s also the Café Chic, Le Speakeasy, Le Piaf, Madame Sarfati, Les Jardins du Presbourg, Le Victoria, Balagan and more.

Throughout the 16th arrondissement, concept stores and beautiful boutiques flourish, brimming with the best brands, great designs, and accessories to make you melt with envy... Here’s a guide to our recommended shops.

PATTISERIES

Aux Merveilleux de Fred 
Who doesn't know the Merveilleux de Fred, which has spread its branches worldwide? Don’t miss taking a trip to 29 Rue de l’Annonciation, where the great pâtissier from Lille offers his thousand and one delights.
Meringues topped with whipped cream are traditional delicacies from the North of France and Flanders. They are frequently overlooked, sometimes forgotten, often neglected, but Frédéric Vaucamps was able to bring them back into the spotlight with the recipe he created in 1985.
Our favourite is the Incroyable, a crunchy and creamy meringue heart with a dollop of whipped cream speckled with speculoos rolled in white chocolate shavings, but we also love the coffee Impensable, the cherry Excentrique, and the Magnifique with its praline coated with almond pieces and caramelised hazelnuts. Then there’s the latest; Sans-Culotte with a whipped caramel cream and crystallised meringue. These irresistible wonders are available individually or for sharing.

Philippe Conticini
You’ll find the patisserie Gâteau d'Emotions at the top of the Rue de l'Annonciation in the Passy district. This was Philippe Conticini’s first bakery and today offers a beautiful range of breads and viennoiseries, in addition to the delicious pastries we all love.
In this spacious address, the chef has teamed up with the talented boulanger Sébastien Crouzat. Together, they’ve created a superb range of breads and pastries. The delicious natural leavened breads are made with the finest flour from the Moulins d’Antoine. Our favourite is the Limagne baguette.
You’ll also want to try the famous Roulés de Philippe; super light and fluffy Japanese-inspired cakes. Be careful, they’re addictive!
Of course, the chef's wonderful pastries are also there in bountiful splendour and will soon be available from a new outlet on the Muette side. For now, we head to 42 Rue de l'Annonciation (75016) to feast on the chef’s viennoiseries, breads and numerous patisseries, either on the spot or to take away.

La Grande Epicerie Rive Droite
We already love the original La Grande Epicerie on the Left Bank, now the brand has a second store on the Right Bank, where you can choose from some 6,000 grocery products from all over the world, including salts, mustards, vinegars, teas, jams and much more. Greek olive oil, Alicante nougat, Panang curry paste, you name it... A tour of the world’s finest products plus an unparalleled presentation of local specialties that honour the name of France.
The selection is overwhelming, and the shop’s decor is to die for. A visit that’s well worth your time!
80, rue de Passy - 75016 Paris - 01 44 14 38 00

Pastavino
Since 1989, the owner Leandro, he of the lovely Perugia accent, has seen countless local children grow up and become customers. He is now the official supplier of the district’s Dolce Vita restaurant. His Parma ham, San Daniele ham, truffle pizza and Lombardy lasagne have earned him a well-deserved reputation. The wooden chair in his shop once welcomed the academician and Hellenist Jacqueline de Romilly, with whom Leandro, his Mediterranean blood rising, took part in heated discussions!
26, rue de l’Annonciation - 75016 Paris - 01 42 30 76 36

BEAUTY

Aesop – exquisitely fragranced care products
The Australian brand, whose product packaging is as refined as the decor of its stores around the world, has opened shops here, too. And it offers a big first; since early October, customers have been able to benefit from beauty treatments, too. Forty-five minutes of bespoke bliss in the hands of a London-trained aesthetician in full accord with the brand's protocols. Another way to shine in the 16th!
16, rue Jean-Bologne - 75016 Paris - 01 40 50 90 32

Oh my cream
With its exclusive, organic, natural products, this is THE essential concept store for any self-respecting ‘beautista’. Building on its dazzling success since 2013 on the Internet and in Paris, the Oh My Cream brand found a natural home in the 16th arrondissement last March. Care, skin diagnostics, the possibility of finding that certain cream that you can usually only buy in New York; these are the signs of a combination of high standards and quality. Please note that all products are certified petrochemicals-free.

MEN'S FASHION

Holiday Boileau
Tucked away in a 60s building in the 16th arrondissement, a stone's throw from the Café Holiday, is hidden a menswear boutique with an emphasis on lifestyle and the art de vivre. Designed as an art gallery, Holiday Boileau celebrates the mid-20th century American travel magazine Holiday and offers a wardrobe of Holiday-style basics and Parisian collaborations at the height of cool. Last but not least, vintage style specialist Gauthier Borsarello has installed his showroom in the basement.
11 rue Parent-de-Rosan - 75016 Paris

Beige Habilleur & Les éditions du Kiosque
Men, head to the 16th arrondissement where Basile Khadiry and Jean-Baptiste Ménestrier, the muscular duo behind the Beige Habilleur brand, have set up shop. The boutique brings together more than fifty French, British and Japanese brands, all cultivating ‘the art of good work’ that is the spearhead of Beige Habilleur. There’s also a fine selection of books published by the Editions du Kiosque brand which shares the space.
83 rue Chardon Lagache - 75016 Paris

The Palais de Chaillot
This immense pseudo-classical building was built by Azéma, Boileau and Carlu for the 1937 Universal Exposition. In keeping with the Exposition’s aim to encourage the revival of the decorative arts, the building’s decor was entrusted to many painters and sculptors, to better represent all French contemporary art trends of the time. You can still see the giant sculptures by Henri Bouchard and inscriptions by Paul Valéry.
The Palais de Chaillot was built on the ‘inspired hill’, a vantage point that was for a long time the stronghold of two religious orders, to replace the Moorish-style Palais du Trocadero. The final building, which has a classicised ‘moderne’ design, opens majestically onto the Champ-de-Mars.
The Palais de Chaillot hosts the National Maritime Museum and the Museum of Man. The Théâtre National de Chaillot (which has kept its original home) and the City of Architecture and Heritage occupy the east wing.

The Jardin d’Acclimatation – a treat for the children
The Jardin d'Acclimatation is the oldest amusement park in France. Created under Napoleon III in 1860, this 18-hectare park situated in the middle of the Bois de Boulogne is a favourite for Parisian family outings. It has around forty rides and other attractions - including seventeen new ones – each designated as suitable for one of three age groups. Among them are a zip line ride, mini-rollercoasters, animal rides and a famous narrow-gauge railway that has been around since 1878, and which connects the park to the Porte Maillot. The Jardin d'Acclimatation is also home to almost 500 animals, including a large aviary and the livestock of the Saint-Hilaire educational farm. The park has a dozen different eateries, so your family will enjoy plenty of choice.

The Fondation Le Corbusier, open to the public
This foundation devotes all its resources to the conservation, dissemination and honouring of the work of the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier.
The Maison La Roche and Le Corbusier's apartment - 24 Rue Nungesser et Coli, 75016 Paris - are open to visitors all year. The Maison Jeanneret welcomes students and researchers daily. In July 2008, major works were undertaken to restore the interiors of the Maison La Roche and upgrade the building to ensure visitor safety.
The foundation presents exhibitions in the Maison La Roche designed to contribute to the public’s knowledge of the man and his creations. It also devotes significant resources to encouraging and facilitating the work of researchers interested in Le Corbusier. The documentation centre is open daily for those in need of its facilities. There are grants for young researchers, residences in Le Corbusier's apartment, seminars and scientific publications. The Fondation Le Corbusier responds to requests from students and researchers requiring information or who wish to obtain reproductions of documents for their studies. At their disposal are all the works published by and about Le Corbusier throughout the world, and even his personal library. Over 400,000 digitised documents can be viewed in the documentation room.

The Hippodrome d’Auteuil
Close to the Porte d'Auteuil in Paris, on 33 hectares at the edge of the Bois de Boulogne, is the Hippodrome d’Auteuil racecourse. This is the main venue for steeplechase racing in France, hosting all nine of the Group 1 hurdle and steeplechase events that take place on French soil. These are held in early spring, then in the autumn until early December. The going can be ‘heavy’ at those times of year and this has a great bearing on the skills of French steeplechasers.
The excitement and unpredictability of a race over various obstacles plays a big part in the popularity of this sport among the public. Competitors converge from all over France, including the famed thoroughbred breeding regions of the west and central eastern areas of the country, to attend the Weekend International de l’Obstacle in November and the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris in June.
