What's it like?

I had a friend who lived there...I like it...very gentile, IMO, but others may say boring.

If you have kids, I would say it's a safe bet.

But that was ages ago...before I had DC's. Don't want to mislead you.

Boring, but very good for accessing the international school. Plenty of expats.

I know that cafe on the corner of Lynette's photo - tis rather nice.

[MrsSchadenfreude]

Well, I'll see how it goes. I don't want to live in the Parisian equivalent of Peckham, so dull might be nice.

[MrsSchadenfreude]

What is the Parisian equivalent of Peckham?

[LynetteScavo]

I'd say Fullham/Putney was the equivalent if that's any help.

[LynetteScavo]

Peckham/Pigalle????

B'Anna Seems to be at a dinner party toinght.

Fairly dull, but nice parks nearby and one patisserie with the best millefeuille I have ever eaten! However, I'm sure BonsoirAnna will have a better idea though. I've never actually lived in Paris...

[BonsoirAnna]

Vile. My POLs live there (in avenue Mozart) and it is where DP grew up. Terribly, terribly boring.

[BonsoirAnna]

If you want to live in the 16th, IMO the only bit that it is at all nice is the area around Avenue Victor Hugo.

Agree with Anna. I prefer along president wilson down to Alma myself.
7e arrondissement is just as proper but nicer, and of course rive gauche so it has to be better
