Discover Passy’s 3 best spots for your trip in Paris

Housed in Paul Marmottan's former private mansion with preserved Empire-style decor, this museum combines period rooms with an outstanding art collection. It holds the world's largest fund of Claude Monet's works alongside pieces by Berthe Morisot, plus medieval and Ancien Régime paintings, sculptures and illuminations.

Temporary exhibitions and a garden café add to the visit.

This 16th-arrondissement house in Passy was where Honoré de Balzac lived and wrote several works. Permanent collections, free to visit, include manuscripts, portraits and personal objects tracing his life and literary output, displayed alongside a garden and library.

The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions and a café, offering a quiet stop away from central Paris crowds.

Set in 15th-century vaulted cellars once used by monks to store wine, this museum near the Eiffel Tower displays over 2,000 objects tracing the history of French viticulture. Visitors can explore reconstructed historical scenes, take tasting courses, or dine at the on-site bistronomic restaurant.

Friday evenings bring jazz concerts within the cellars, combining live music with wine and cuisine.
