Quartier des Ternes

The Quartier des Ternes is an administrative district in Paris's 17th arrondissement that stretches from Place de l'Étoile to Porte Maillot. Its main street, Avenue des Ternes, runs as a central spine linking the area to Paris's core.

The quarter transformed from a small rural settlement into an urban area following its annexation to Paris in 1863. This rapid growth made it a significant business hub by the late 1800s.

The Church of Saint-Ferdinand-des-Ternes stands as a gathering place where locals pause in their daily routines. Its presence shapes how residents and visitors move through and experience the neighborhood's rhythm.

The area is well-connected by metro lines 1 and 2, offering direct access to central Paris and major institutions. The abundance of shops and restaurants along Avenue des Ternes make it easy to spend time exploring on foot.

The neighborhood served as a hub for French automobile manufacturing in the late 1800s, hosting factories and repair shops throughout the district. This industrial heritage still shapes the character and building styles of the area today.
