How could anyone resist the most famous of Parisian avenues, located at the heart of the 8th arrondissement? This popular tourist spot is a chance to discover French-style prestige and enjoy a shopping spree in the greatest stores. Many luxury boutiques are indeed based there, such as Louis Vuitton, Montblanc and Guerlain, along with famous restaurants such as Le Fouquet's. Measuring 1,910 metres long and 70 metres wide, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, which runs from the majestic Place de la Concorde all the way to the imposing Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, also amazes visitors with its impressive dimensions.
