The 16th arrondissement (district), one of 20 Parisian arrondissements , is located on the right bank of the Seine . The district is also known as the Arrondissement Passy , after the name of the old parish that was incorporated into Paris in 1860.
Together with the 7th arrondissement and the suburb Neuilly-sur-Seine to the west, it forms the most expensive and wealthiest residential district in France. In addition, the quarters that border the Bois de Boulogne are also described as Neuilly-Auteuil-Passy , which comprises the uniform quarter between the arrondissement and the suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine.
