Detailed History and Exploration of the Ternes District in Paris

Nestled in the 17th arrondissement of the city of Paris, the Ternes district, the 65th administrative district, stands as an epitome of Parisian luxury. Being one of the most affluent areas, it boasted about 39,000 residents in 2005. With easy access provided by lines 1, 2, and 3 of the Paris metro, its pivotal points are the Place des Ternes, rue de Courcelles, Porte Maillot, and the illustrious Avenue de Wagram. Historically, before its annexation by Paris, Ternes was a part of Neuilly. The district’s intriguing name traces its origins from a farm owned by the bishop of Paris. A highlight of its historical journey includes the transformation of the farm by the poet and valet of Henry III, Pierre Habert, into a majestic castle. Over the years, the district flourished commercially, hosting renowned stores such as “At the city Ternes”, now replaced by Celio. The famed Palais des Congrès, an epicenter for diverse conferences and entertainment, graces the district. Notably, two magnificent churches adorn the district: The Church of St. Ferdinand des Ternes and The Church of Our Lady of Compassion, the latter being a historic monument since 1929.
