Champs Elysee is great if you love shopping.
It has a variation of stores from the expensive Louis Vuitton, Bulgari jewellery, shoe boutiques including designer shoes from Dolce and Gabbana, Christian Laboutin, Patrick Cox, Matthew Williamson and Gina heels (wow). I was in heaven but its not cheap. Bought a pair of Charles Jourdan heels for 240 euros in the end.
You also have the more reasonable clothes stores like H&M, and Morgan de toi, Diesel and Miss Sixty also.
Off one of the roads from the Champs Elysee you will find bar Man Ray, one of the best bars in Paris and owned by the gorgeous Johnny Depp and the not so gorgeous Sean Penn! It is on 34 Rue Marboeuf website is www.manray.fr/ .

 View over Champs Elysee by tremendopuntoLeave a Comment

Probably this is the most popular street in paris, very charming, yet very touristy! I've been there in a christmas time when it was fully lit and lively with colours. Big brands and the french perfume stores are all mainly located over here!
Goodness! Once my friend and I were stopped by two tourists whom we thought to be beggars or thieves. They've asked to buy them Channel (or whatever) bag and wallets from the store. The store policy was not to sell two pieces of the same item. Imagine! They gave us 1500 euros!!! They didn't know us or asked for any guarantee! My friend and I could have just run away with this money and travel around France,lol. Got the sense how touristy is this place??
It's full of coffee shops and french crepe makers;) though pricy!
We met two french gentlemen, who came up from nowhere, who warned us not to walk late evening around this area and not to show we were 'very' tourists in every possible sense! Lucky enough they even showed us around;)
The road will be blocked and become pedestrian in the new year eve. Imagine!!! I just love this place when it's full of lights and it gives you easy access to Arc de Troimphe and everything around in Paris. Leave a Comment Address: Champs Elyeese

The Champs-Élysées which means the 'Elysian Fields' is the best-known grand boulevard in Paris. On both sides of it are thousands of showrooms, stores and galleries for attracting tourists. This boulevard is always crowded with not only tourists but also the local people

Long known for being one the best places for shopping, the Champs Elysees is a long wide avenue in Paris with the Arc de Triomphe at the end. There are many fashion stores here as well as many outdoor cafes. It has many theatres and anyone interested in shopping, fashion, or culture. It has often be compared to New York's fifth avenue and this description is pretty accurate. However, it is very expensive so do be prepared to pay a lot, so if you cannot afford or don't want to spend huge amounts, it is still worth going to look around.

Personnaly I dont really like the Champs Elysees. I think many Parisian dont see it as a magical place. It is quite noisy, crowded, and not of an oustanding beauty. There are much more pretty places in Paris than this one. When thinking about Champs Elysees, many Parisian think of a place with bored people from the suburb wandering there, tourists taking pictures and where a cup of coffee costs 5€... not exactly the idea tourists probably have about this place. I dont know what image people have from Champs Elysees, maybe of a romantic place?
But for sure, it still is probably one of the most symbolic place in Paris and in France. When there is a major victory in sport with French athletes, people show on the Champs Elysees, when we do military parades it very often goes, if not always, in Champs ELysees and the tour de France finishes in Champs Elysees... All a symbol! So, yes, it is a very important place for us, even though many French dont find it magical. Leave a Comment

The Champs Élysées is the most prestigious avenue in Paris.
With all the cinemas, luxury specialty shops, etc... the avenue is one of the most famous streets in the city.
Just think that a rent there can be as high as $1.50 million a year for a 1'000 square feet of space.
The name "Elysian fields" refers to the place of the blessed in Greek mythology.
This avenue is known in France and the most beautiful avenue in the world.
The avenue extends for 2 km from Place de la Concorde to the Place Charles de Gaulle where the Tryumphal Arch is.
Originally were fields and market gardens, until back in the 1616 when Marie de Medici decided to extend the axis of the garden of the Palais del Tuileries with a big road of trees.
