Avenue Champs-Élysées
Whether you prefer parks and museums or shopping, dining and theatres or historic landmarks and monuments, Avenue Champs-Élysées has them all
Possibly one of the most renowned stretches of road anywhere in the world, Avenue Champs-Élysées is truly a remarkable street. Running southeast from the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Concorde, you would almost be remiss not to walk down this bustling historic avenue when you visit Paris.
The western portion runs from the Arc de Triomphe to the Grand Palais. It is a vibrant and busy thoroughfare lined with high end shops and restaurants that spill out onto the wide sidewalks. There are also several movie theatres located along this portion. You may well enjoy exploring the many exclusive high end shops along this section, but don't expect to shop or dine on a budget here. With stores such as Chanel, Chloe, Gucci, Christian Dior, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren and many more you are only going to find the real thing here. There are even a couple of car dealers that have the latest concepts in automotive on display in their showrooms.
The eastern portion extending from the Grand Palais to the Jardin des Tuileries is quieter and has much less traffic. It is lined with gardens and uniformly trimmed chestnut trees.
As you walk down this famous avenue it is interesting to realize that German soldiers marched down the same route in 1941 when they occupied Paris and later in 1944 Allied soldiers marched down the same route in celebration of victory.

At Christmas this place is crazy. Lots of people on the street, lots of shops open with nice things. A big selection of gifts and music on the street. Everything is so beautiful.
I took one of the best times of the year to revisit this place again. It is so beautiful and memorable that you won't regret being here even if there's a lot of people.

The view from every angle is great. Showrooms to Cafes. It’s just stunning The famous street of Paris . Every one must visit while being in Paris. I did it 4 times in my two visits to Paris once in 2022 and now in 2024. This place is very cool and has nice ambiance in the evening. I would recommend to go there before sunset.
