Champs Elysees
Famous French avenue
The Champs-Élysées is a famous avenue in Paris, running from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe.
It serves as a major shopping and tourist destination and the traditional route for national celebrations and military parades.
The name means "Elysian Fields"—the paradise of Greek mythology—giving the street an air of grandeur: We strolled down the Champs-Élysées at sunset.
