Avenue des Champs-ElyseesAvenue des Champs-Elysées, Paris, FranceCreated in 1667 by Andre Le Notre, Louis XIV's gardener,in order to improve the view from the Tuileries garden. The avenue was lenghtened at the end of the 18th century, running from theplace de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe. Two kilometers long and bordered by trees, les Champs-Elysees has become the center for festivities and official parades. It is likewise a magnet for tourists and night strollers. Set between the many cinemas, the cafes and restaurants tempt you to stop by. Designer boutiques, banks and embassies are also situated in this chic neighborhood.

“The avenue is heavily populated with people and pigeons! I never tire of window shopping on the avenue. You'll find cafes from McDonalds to upscale. And at the end, climbing the Arc De Triomphe is a triumph of its own! There is a "lift" to the top, but walking the steps is much more fun and challenging. Remember, the bathroom is at the top!” 4 of 7 people found this review helpful.Popular Attractions in Paris
