Chaillot, Administrative quarter in 16th arrondissement, France

Chaillot district extends along the Seine River, bordered by Avenue Marceau to the east and Avenue de la Grande-Armée to the north.

The area transformed from a village with royal residences into Paris's 64th administrative district through Baron Haussmann's extensive urban renovations in 1860.

The district houses the City of Architecture and Heritage, which spans 22,000 square meters and exhibits architectural drawings, prototypes, and monumental casts.

Multiple metro stations and RATP bus lines connect Chaillot to Paris, with Charles-de-Gaulle - Étoile station providing access to regional transportation networks.

The district contains the Aquarium de Paris, established in 1867 as the first aquarium worldwide, displaying 10,000 specimens across 3,500 square meters.
