Architecture and details

The steps

  1. Trocadéro

    Start around Palais de Chaillot and observe lines, volumes and how the building frames the landscape.

  2. Streets around Avenue Paul-Doumer

    Use side streets to look for ironwork, doors, bay windows and geometric reliefs without entering private buildings.

  3. Passy façades

    Compare buildings from different decades. The outing is about details rather than one address.

  4. A neighbourhood break

    Finish near a metro station or café. Adapt the loop to your energy and respect residential entrances.

Look from public space

Look for façade volumes, ironwork and motifs rather than building a list of private interiors to enter. Passy streets give a residential rhythm after Trocadéro’s larger perspectives.

A shorter version

Limit the walk to Trocadéro and streets around Avenue Paul-Doumer. Observe façades from public space and respect private property.
