Luxury Apartments by the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées
Haussmann apartments around the Étoile, from the couture streets of the 8th to the quiet squares of Ternes and Passy
As featured in
Paris at its most grand, and its most residential
Twelve avenues meet at the Étoile, and the Arc de Triomphe stands at the centre of them, looking down the Champs-Élysées towards the Louvre. This is the Paris of parades, plane trees and cream stone façades. Walk a few streets back from the traffic, though, and the city changes. You find Parisians buying cheese, children in the parks and very good neighbourhood bistros.
Our collection here runs to 160+ apartments across the 8th, 16th and 17th arrondissements. They range from neat one-bedroom flats off the Avenue de Wagram to family apartments in Ternes, Passy and around Parc Monceau. Some have air conditioning or private parking, which is worth having in this city.
Here is a guide to the quarters around the Arc and the best time to come.

The Golden Triangle of the 8th for Avenue Montaigne and the Grand Palais, Ternes and Monceau for village life and fine museums, and Chaillot and Passy for the river and the Trocadéro.
Napoleon's arch and the long view
Napoleon commissioned the Arc de Triomphe in 1806, after Austerlitz, and did not live to see it finished in 1836. The Unknown Soldier of the Great War has lain beneath it since 1921, and the flame on the tomb is rekindled every evening at half past six. It is a short ceremony and a moving one.
Climb to the roof for the best view in this part of Paris. The Champs-Élysées runs east to the Concorde and the Tuileries, and the towers of La Défense rise to the west on the same line.

Couture, palaces and the bridge with the gilded horses
The Champs-Élysées, Avenue George V and Avenue Montaigne frame the Golden Triangle. This is where the great fashion houses keep their flagships and the palace hotels keep their bars. Window-shopping on Avenue Montaigne costs nothing at all.
Towards the river are the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, both built for the 1900 Exposition Universelle. The permanent collection at the Petit Palais is free, and its garden café is a quiet place to spend an hour. Beyond them, the Pont Alexandre III crosses to the Invalides.

Where the locals actually live
North of the Étoile, Ternes is a properly Parisian quarter. Rue Poncelet is lined with fishmongers, cheese shops and bakeries, and Parc Monceau has colonnades, follies and nannies with prams. Nearby are two house museums worth a morning each: the Musée Nissim de Camondo and the Musée Jacquemart-André. Further north, Batignolles feels more like a village.
To the south-west, Chaillot and Passy run down to the Seine. Here you have the Trocadéro, the Palais de Tokyo and the Musée Guimet. The Fondation Louis Vuitton, Frank Gehry's glass sail in the Bois de Boulogne, is a short ride away.

Parades, pâtisserie and the lights of December
On 14 July the military parade comes down the Champs-Élysées, and the avenue is traditionally where the Tour de France ends in late July. From late November the plane trees are strung with Christmas lights. Spring and early autumn are the loveliest times to walk the city. In August many neighbourhood restaurants close, so Paris is quieter, sometimes more than you might like.
Eat simply where you can: a long lunch at a brasserie in Ternes, cheese from Rue Poncelet, a box of macarons for the train home. Our concierge can book restaurant tables, museum tickets and private guides.

The right house, not the nearest one
The apartments around the Étoile cover three arrondissements with quite different characters, and we know which streets are quiet at night and which are an easy walk to the Metro and the market. With 160+ properties in the Champs-Élysées, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Restaurant reservations, museum and Arc de Triomphe tickets, private guides, babysitters, and transfers from Gare du Nord, Charles de Gaulle and Orly. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best place to stay near the Champs-Élysées?
The Golden Triangle of the 8th puts you closest to Avenue Montaigne and the Grand Palais. Ternes and Monceau in the 17th are more residential, with markets and parks, and suit families well. Chaillot and Passy in the 16th are quiet and elegant, and close to the Seine.
When is the best time to visit Paris for the Champs-Élysées?
April to June and September to October bring mild weather and the city at its best. December has the Christmas lights. The 14 July parade is memorable, but the area is very busy around it.
Can you climb the Arc de Triomphe?
Yes. A spiral staircase of 284 steps leads to the roof terrace, which looks down the twelve avenues of the Étoile. Book tickets ahead in high season, and go near sunset for the best light.
Can you arrange a private chef at a apartment in the Champs-Élysées?
Yes. Our concierge can arrange a private chef for a single dinner or your whole stay, along with cookery lessons, guided visits, transfers and restaurant reservations.
How much does a luxury propertie in the Champs-Élysées cost?
Across our 160+ properties in the Champs-Élysées, weekly rates typically range from £3,800 to £9,000, with the most affordable from around £3,000 a week and the largest estates well above. Prices depend on the size of the property, its location and the season, with July and August the most expensive. These are guide prices based on current listings; each property page shows its own rates for your dates.
How do I get to the Arc de Triomphe from London?
The Eurostar runs from St Pancras to Gare du Nord in around two and a quarter hours. From there, a taxi or the Metro brings you to the Étoile, which is served by Metro lines 1, 2 and 6 and the RER A. Our concierge can arrange transfers from the station or from Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports.
Are there apartments in the Champs-Élysées for large groups?
Yes. Our Champs-Élysées collection includes properties with up to 7 bedrooms. Tell us the size of your party and the occasion, and we will send a shortlist that suits it.
