Nicknamed &#8220;the world&#8217;s most beautiful avenue&#8221;, it blends gardens, palaces, luxury boutiques, legendary caf\u00e9s and theatres. Walking it on foot, from Concorde up to the Arc de Triomphe, remains one of the finest introductions to Paris.<\/p>\n<h2>From royal promenade to modern avenue<\/h2>\n<p>The Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es were born in the 17th century when landscape designer\u00a0<strong>Andr\u00e9 Le N\u00f4tre<\/strong>, Louis XIV&#8217;s gardener, extended the perspective of the Tuileries westward. This straight line became the\u00a0<strong>Axe historique<\/strong>\u00a0of Paris, which today runs from the Louvre all the way to the Grande Arche de la D\u00e9fense. First a country promenade, the avenue gradually filled with mansions, theatres and caf\u00e9s before becoming, in the 20th century, the showcase of Parisian commerce and prestige.<\/p>\n<h2>Two avenues in one<\/h2>\n<p>The walk unfolds in two very different sequences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The lower section, towards Concorde<\/strong>, is a garden avenue. Here you&#8217;ll find green spaces, the\u00a0<strong>Petit Palais<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0<strong>Grand Palais<\/strong>\u00a0with its vast glass roof, and theatres such as the Marigny. The atmosphere is peaceful, perfect for strolling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The upper section, towards the Arc de Triomphe<\/strong>, concentrates the buzz:\u00a0<strong>luxury boutiques<\/strong>, international flagships, cinemas, and iconic caf\u00e9s and brasseries such as Fouquet&#8217;s and the Ladur\u00e9e tea house.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Arc de Triomphe as a grand finale<\/h2>\n<p>At the top of the avenue stands the\u00a0<strong>Arc de Triomphe<\/strong>, commissioned by Napoleon I in 1806 and completed in 1836. Beneath its vault lies the\u00a0<strong>Tomb of the Unknown Soldier<\/strong>, whose flame is rekindled every evening. The panoramic terrace offers one of the finest views of Paris, at the centre of the star formed by twelve avenues.
