A village founded around the year 600, its main street, its market on place Jean Lorrain, its glasshouses and the Bois at the end of the avenue. We guide buyers and sellers here.
Auteuil owes its name to its position on high ground, and its history to its waters. From the seventeenth century, on the road to Versailles, the village drew nobles and bourgeois for its greenery, its celebrated springs and its setting between river and forest — rue de la Source and rue de la Cure still carry the trace. Molière bought a house at 2 rue d'Auteuil; the Mouton Blanc inn, at number 40, welcomed Racine, Boileau and La Fontaine. The village was absorbed into Paris in 1860. It has kept its main street, its church and its market.
Old village houses at numbers 19 to 29 of rue d'Auteuil, eighteenth-century mansions, Haussmannian and Art Nouveau blocks — including the house Guimard built for himself in 1911 on avenue Mozart. Few Paris districts offer such depth.
The Serres garden and its collection of rare plants, the Parc Sainte-Périne, and the Bois de Boulogne beginning at the end of the avenues. This is the part of the 16th where life is most lived outdoors.
Rue d'Auteuil has kept the air of a provincial high street: bakeries, bookshops, cafés. The place Jean Lorrain market is held on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, and the church of Notre-Dame-d'Auteuil looks over it all.
Families, for the most part. People come to Auteuil for the schools, the quiet and the Bois, and they stay — turnover is lower here than elsewhere in the 16th.
Rue d'Auteuil, named by decree in 1813 as the 'rue du village d'Auteuil', remains the quarter's spine: the Hôtel Véron at number 16, the old houses at 19 to 29, the Mouton Blanc inn at 40. It leads to place Jean Lorrain and its market. To the south and west the Bois de Boulogne borders the quarter; to the north, rue de l'Assomption and rue de Boulainvilliers separate it from Passy. We measure here by distance to the high street and by depth of garden, because those are the two things Auteuil offers that the rest of the 16th no longer has.
You shop at the Jean Lorrain market on Saturday, walk back up rue d'Auteuil without hurrying, and the Bois begins at the end of the avenue.
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.
That is precisely its vocation. Schools, market, parks and the Bois sit within one walking radius, and the quarter lives all year without the tourist flows of the northern 16th. Many families arrive for a few years and stay twenty.
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 à Auteuil, whether buying or selling. We reply personally within 48 hours, in complete confidence.
07 86 71 33 13Auteuil 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.
