The hill, the 1937 palace and its gardens facing the Eiffel Tower, avenue Kléber running straight from the Étoile. We guide buyers and sellers here.
Chaillot was a village before it was a quarter, raised to a faubourg of Paris in 1659. Its hill was lowered by three metres under the Second Empire, at Haussmann's initiative, to allow the works that followed. The Palais de Chaillot was born of the Exposition Universelle, alongside the Palais de Tokyo and the Palais d'Iéna; its façades, forecourt and terrace have been listed since 1980. Between its two wings, the gardens open onto the Eiffel Tower and the Champ-de-Mars. It is the most photographed address in Paris — and one of the most cosmopolitan.
Fine Haussmannian along avenue Kléber and the radiating streets, interwar blocks on the hill. Dressed stone, running balconies, reception rooms in enfilade: the Parisian vocabulary at its most accomplished.
It is paid for and it is kept. Upper floors on Kléber, rue de Longchamp or the streets descending to the Seine open onto the Eiffel Tower and the rooftops. No listing conveys that difference: we measure it on site.
Embassies, institutions, bilingual schools, museums — the Musée de l'Homme and the Cité de l'Architecture in the palace, the Palais de Tokyo for contemporary art. This is the part of the 16th where most languages are heard.
An international, wealth-oriented clientele, and long-established residents of the quarter. Buyers for whom the address counts as much as the floor area, and who know these positions cannot be recreated.
Avenue Kléber runs straight for eleven hundred metres from place Charles-de-Gaulle down to place du Trocadéro — one of the twelve avenues radiating from the Étoile, wide and tree-lined. Its line follows that of the old Farmers-General wall, completed in 1789. At the bottom, the palace and its two wings, known as Passy and Paris, frame the esplanade; the gardens descend towards the Seine. We cross two variables here: floor height and the axis of the view, which never move together.
You step out for a coffee on place du Trocadéro, cross the gardens, and the Eiffel Tower is there, opposite, every morning.
Floor, aspect, view, lift, reception volume. In the 16th, two apartments in the same building are not lived in the same way.
Our network of owners, notaires and introducers tells us about properties before they are listed. At these addresses, most of it is settled in advance.
We visit, check true orientation, the quality of the building, how the floors are arranged and what the co-ownership allows.
Through to completion, with the same rigour as in the Pays Basque — one contact, from the first call to the handover of keys.
Because no prestige property comes down to an average. Two neighbouring houses on plots of identical size are not worth the same if one faces south and the other sits in shade. We assess exact location, orientation, plot, features and scarcity — a bespoke valuation, never a price grid.
It does, and it holds — because it cannot be reproduced. But not all views are equal: full or oblique, open or partial, from the living room or from a bedroom. We show you the difference on site before you decide.
It is one of our particularities: we are established in both territories. Whether your plans concern one, the other or both, you have the same adviser from first conversation to completion — which avoids mismatched timings and makes coordination far simpler.
Agreed in advance and transparent. For a search mandate they fall due only on acquisition. The detail is set out at our first meeting.
One call is enough to frame your project in au Trocadéro ou à Chaillot, whether buying or selling. We reply personally within 48 hours, in complete confidence.
07 86 71 33 13Le Trocadéro is one of the Paris addresses we work in. We cover many others — as far as the Pays Basque and Bordeaux — and we hold a certain idea of what this profession should be, better told elsewhere than on this page.
