Champs Elysees Avenue Paris

The Champs-Elysées Avenue offers visitors a walk in the heart of the French art of living. This district, which is the shop window of luxurious, smart & refined Paris, proposes a ballet of haute couture boutiques and is the head-quarters of the most international labels. Towering over the Avenue, the monumental Arc de Triomphe was built in 1806 to celebrate Napoleon 1st’s French victories. Go up on the terrace to admire the perspective of the Champs-Elysées, the Concorde and the Pyramide du Louvre .

The lower half of the avenue toward the place de la Concorde has a different character, with gardens and smart restaurants running off either side. Between the Champs Elysees and elegant rue du Faubourg Saint Honore lie the vast gardens of the Elysees Palace, home to the French President. On the other side of the avenue are the Petit Palais and glass-domed Grand Palais, used for major art exhibitions, and the adjoining science museum the Palais de la Decouverte.
