Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Major avenue in Paris, France
The avenue runs for about 1.9 kilometers through central Paris, linking Place de la Concorde with the Arc de Triomphe. Wide pavements flank both sides, shaded by rows of plane trees and horse chestnuts that create a green corridor along the route.
In 1640, André Le Nôtre began laying out the tree-lined extension from the Tuileries Garden under orders from Louis XIV. Over the following centuries, it transformed into one of the most recognized streets in the city.
Every year on July 14, the military parade draws thousands who line the barriers to watch the procession. On other days, people come to shop at international brand stores or sit at sidewalk cafés, watching the flow of pedestrians and traffic.
Several metro stations sit along the route, including Charles de Gaulle-Étoile, George V, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Champs-Élysées-Clemenceau. The pavements are wide enough to walk the entire length comfortably, though weekends and holidays can bring heavy crowds.
The final stage of the Tour de France finishes here after riders complete eight laps on the circuit between the Arc de Triomphe and Place de la Concorde. The cyclists pass through the same loop repeatedly before crossing the finish line.

Paris combines historic architecture with cultural institutions in ways that have drawn couples for generations. The city offers a mix of 19th-century parklands, bridges spanning the Seine, and street cafes that invite lingering. From the galleries of the Louvre to the cobbled paths of Montmartre, these locations provide opportunities to explore art, history, and urban life together. This collection includes well-known landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame Cathedral alongside quieter spaces such as Parc Monceau and Square du Vert-Galant. Historic passages like Passage Jouffroy showcase 19th-century commercial architecture, while sites like Palais Garnier and Sainte-Chapelle present medieval and classical building styles. The Canal Saint-Martin and its locks offer views of the city's infrastructure away from main tourist routes. Each location contributes in its own way to Paris's appeal for travelers.
The streets of France display the country's history. From Paris cobblestone lanes to Strasbourg canals and Nice promenades, they feature historic timber houses, markets, and shops.
