Porte-Dauphine, Administrative quarter in 16th arrondissement of Paris, France.

Porte-Dauphine is a residential quarter in the 16th arrondissement of Paris that spans from Jardin du Trocadéro to the Bois de Boulogne. Wide avenues and Haussmann-style buildings define its character, alongside elegant private residences.

The quarter grew from the former village of Chaillot during the Second Empire through major urban development directed by Baron Haussmann. This transformation established the architectural and urban layout that remains today.

The Musée de la Contrefaçon displays about 350 counterfeit goods alongside originals, helping visitors understand how fake products affect commerce and consumers. This collection shows the methods used to imitate products and why authenticity matters in daily life.

The area is easy to reach via Porte Dauphine metro station on Line 2, with multiple bus routes serving the quarter. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since the wide avenues encourage exploration.

The Square Alexandre-et-René-Parodi contains Japanese cherry trees that bloom with pink flowers in spring. This hidden spot provides a quiet contrast to the broad avenues that define the area.
