Villa Montmorency, Private villa in the Auteuil neighborhood, Paris, France.
Villa Montmorency is a private residential estate in the Auteuil district of the 16th arrondissement in Paris, France. The property consists of freestanding houses set along a tree-lined private road, each surrounded by carefully maintained gardens.
The compound was created in 1852 on land that once belonged to the Château de Boufflers. During the Second Empire, the area became a preferred address for wealthy families and artists.
Literary figures such as Victor Hugo, André Gide, and Guillaume Apollinaire lived within the walls of Villa Montmorency during the nineteenth century.
The street is not open to the public and remains under constant surveillance. Visitors can only enter if invited by one of the residents.
The internal road follows an oval shape, so the houses are at different distances from each other. This layout makes sure each house has enough space from neighbors and its own garden.
