Passy serves the affluent local 16th arrondissement population with mid-to-high-end French chains (Sandro, Maje, Comptoir des Cotonniers, The Kooples) and independent boutiques. The atmosphere is residential and quieter than tourism-zone shopping, with mostly French-speaking shoppers.
Mostly closed. The 16th arrondissement is not in a designated tourism zone, so Rue de Passy and Passy Plaza follow standard French retail hours, typically Monday-Saturday 10am-7pm with Sunday closures.
Passy Plaza at 53 Rue de Passy is a small upscale mall with around 30 stores spread over three levels. Anchors include Monoprix Gourmet, Sandro, Sephora, plus French and international mid-tier chains. The mall is a 5-minute walk from La Muette Metro on Line 9.
Walk 15 minutes north from the Eiffel Tower across the Pont de Bir-Hakeim and along Rue Raynouard, or take Line 6 from Bir-Hakeim to Passy in two stops. The 16th arrondissement is the residential district immediately north of the Eiffel Tower.
La Muette on Line 9 sits at the northern Rue de Passy end. Passy on Line 6 sits at the southern end with Eiffel Tower views from the elevated platform. Both are 5-minute walks to the heart of the shopping street.
