About the Avenue des Champs Elysées
“The most beautiful Avenue in the world” Champs Elysées, truly is a worldwide destination worth calling the most beautiful. To the French, this nickname, has more to it than just a fashionable saying; Champs Elysées comes from the Greek Mythological idea of heaven being “gardens and fields”, which Champs Elysées once was some four hundred years ago.
Champs Elysées is part of the historical axis in Paris, extending from the Obelisk in Place de Concord to Arc de Triomphe in Place Charles de Gaulle. These historical landmarks outline the beginning and end of this avenue of three kilometers of beauty, surrounded by luxury shops for buying gifts or simply window-shopping among the many who come here. Cafés and Theaters, as well as many places to simply rest and enjoy the movement of people, even those who work in the upper business offices can give a vivid feel for the Parisian way of life.
Perhaps people come to Champs Elysées just to meet with friends for a talk or stroll through the open gardens and parks along the avenue. And these are some of the more favorable past times during the day, while even open-aired children’s marionette theaters might be seen, for they are one of the more distinct characteristics of the Parisian culture found along Champs Elysées.
“Champs Elysées is living Parisian beauty, a modern day example of Elysium.”
