The
16th arrondissement has a wide choice of museums. The Rue de La
Fontaine, situated in the Auteuil neighbourhood, will let you imagine
the characteristic smell of the spring with curative properties
which was located there. In this same neighbourhood, you can admire
the most beautiful collection of post cards of France while being
transported by the Gregorian chants of the Abbaye Bénédictine
Sainte Marie. But you can also stop at the Musée Bouchard,
one of the most mysterious of Paris, which will allow you to get
to know this artist better, winner of the Rome prize in 1901. Wherever
you go, your walk in this neighbourhood will enable you to admire
impressive buildings, private hotels and villas, real luxury mansions.
You
