The Champs-Elysées avenue in Paris

The Champs-Elysées in Paris is known as the most beautiful avenue in the world. It may be, specially at night, as you can see on the right picture.

The Champs-Elysées stretch from Concorde square to Arc de Triomphe. They have been nicely renovated with large granite sidewalks and plane trees.

Watching the arrival of Tour de France on Champs-Elysées

With their view and animation, the Champs-Elysées are a very pleasant walk from Champs-Elysées Clemenceau to Charles de Gaulle Etoile metro stations on line 1.

New years eve gathering, the 14th of July military parade as well as the arrival of the Tour de France cycling race end of July (left) are some of the events that regularly animate "Les Champs".

The Champs-Elysées are also a top Paris district for city life: shopping with hundreds of fashionable stores of all kinds (right, the spectacular Citroën showroom at number 42), movie theaters, nighlife and restaurants, you are at the heart of Paris animation.
