    Offers Parisian glitz and glamour as you might expect it.
    The Avenue des Champs-Elysées is probably the most famous avenue in the world. This impressive promenade stretches from the Place the la Concorde to the Place Charles de Gaulle, the site of the Arc de Triomphe. (I didnt think the Champs Élysée would really be a so long avenue but it was a great seeing.)
    Along the broad sidewalks you'll find the Lido cabaret, the belle époque Claridge Hotel, cinemas and expensive cafés and luxury shops (i got surprised when i looked in the shop-windows.... beautiful clothes but also very expensive!:) ) To mention some; Lacoste, Gap, Solaris, Guerlain.... You will also find Planet Hollywood on the Champs Élysée:)

    Avenue des Champs Elysees, the most popular street in Paris is situated between Place de la Concorde and Arc de Triomphe.
    It's a broad avenue lined with trees and filled with cafes, restaurants, megastores, car showrooms, expensive shops and shopping arcades.
    It is just one of those must see things when visiting Paris.

    This is the broad avenue running from Place de la Concorde up the Arc de Triomphe. It's some 2 kilometres long all in all. Along the avenue are restaurants ,stores and cafés etc. I, personally don't feel that this is such a must see, but if you are visiting ´Paris for the first time, of course you should see it. Either walk the whole lenth of get off the Metro at Georges V and walk up to the Arc from there. If you decide on a coffee it will be very costly here ...
    If you want to shop, there are both cheap and expensive options. From Etam to Vuitton, you have lots of shops in the Champs Elysees area. There is also a Disney store, a 24 hour open supermarket Monoprix and a Séphora for example.

    This wide tree-lined street is possibly the most famous avenue in all the world. If there is one avenue in the world that I think of when it comes to "strolling down the.." it is the Champs Elysees. Standing near the Arc de Triomphe one can soak up the view as it heads toward the Place de la Concorde. Of course, the view looking toward the Arc de Triomphe is similarily spectacular. If you want a view from high up, go to the top of the Arc de Triomphe.

    Whether you are just looking to walk down the famous avenue or do some shopping, you will enjoy the experience.

    Champs-Elysees(Elysian Fields) in English definately was a must-see. The boulevard has some of the greatest stores in Paris and I really enjoyed it. After the long walk i recomend u sit outside at one of the many caffees. The place is a lot of fun for those who want to look and buy some European clothes and other goods.

    Created 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 the place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe. Two kilometers long and bordered by trees, the Champs-Elysees has become the center for festivities and official parades. It is a magnet for tourists and night strollers.

    Well, since the Arc de Triumph was at the begining or the end ( it depends how you look at it) of Champs Elysees Avenue, we decide to take a walk along this famous street. It would be a real joy if it wasn't for that blister that was killing me. My god, I could hardly pay attention on anything around me. I have to go back definitely but only in my sport shoes.

    I thought Champs Elysee was going to be stuffy like Rodeo Drive in my hometown, but it was nothing like that. Well, it could've been 'cause there were expensive shops such as Louis Vuitton and the like, but unlike Rodeo Drive there was a mix of shops and dining for the rich and the not-so-rich. I liked the Celio shop (men's clothing) and the ginormous Virgin Megastore (note: PSP videos don't work on US hardware and DVDs don't either, unless noted. There's a tiny "import" section of DVDs that will work in US machines, but they're expensive so why bother?) As for food, I had a sandwich at Au Pain once and actually had a burger and fries at the Quick Burger another time. It's a McDonald's knockoff, but we were starving. Oddly, once you walk in the smallish storefront you'll find a huge dining area inside which was quite pleasant. The Peugot store was cool, too. You can get some Hot Wheel-style cars for 2 Euros as an inexpensive gift.

  • This is definitely the most recommended way to spend your afternoons and evenings.
    Walking distance from Louvre and from Arc De Triumph and Eifel tower, it has the best eateries, Hip crowd and LOTS of things to shop.
    Suggestion: spend morning-afternoon at Louvre. Walk down to Champs Elysee for a late lunch/early evening snack. Shop around a little. Walk upto Arc de triumph and climb the Arc for a magnificent view of the city.
    Stroll to Eiffel for an early dinner on the boat and stay for the Light show that happens everyday at 9,10 and 11.
