Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Major avenue in Paris, France

The 1.9-kilometer avenue connects Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, featuring wide sidewalks lined with plane trees and horse-chestnut trees.

In 1640, Louis XIV commissioned André Le Nôtre to design the avenue, initially planting rows of trees extending from the Tuileries Garden.

The avenue hosts the annual Bastille Day military parade and numerous luxury boutiques, including flagship stores of international fashion brands.

Eight metro stations serve the avenue, with direct access points at Charles de Gaulle-Étoile, George V, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Champs-Élysées-Clemenceau stations.

The final stage of the Tour de France cycling race concludes on this avenue, with cyclists completing eight laps before reaching the finish line.

An iconic avenue of the capital but not necessarily the most interesting for shopping!
