Avenue des Champs-Elysees

It was not until the 18th century though that the Avenue des Champs-Elysees was lengthened considerably until it ran from the place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe. The avenue now has a length of two kilometres and is bordered by trees. The Champs-Elysees has easily become the center for official parades and festivities in Paris, drawing in not only local night strollers but tourists as well. Because it is set between a number of restaurants, cafes and cinemas, stopping by and taking a walk are among the activities in Paris you'd want to do in this chic neighborhood., with its banks, embassies and designer boutiques.
