The most unforgettable Avenue in Le Monde

The Champs-Elysees the name refers to the Champs Elysees and it is the most prestigious and most broad avenue in Paris.

It runs for two kilometers (1.25 miles) through the 8th arrondissement in northwestern Paris, Place de la Concorde, the east to the Place Charles de Gaulle in the west, the location of the Arc de Triomphe.

His full name is "Avenue des Champs Elysees. "Champs-Elysees is known in France as the most beautiful avenue in the world (" The most beautiful avenue in the world "). With rents as high as $ 1.50 million a year for 1,000 square feet of space, it remains the second most expensive strip of real estate in the world after New York's Fifth Avenue.

The Champs Elysees was originally fields and market gardens, until 1616, when Marie de Medici decided to extend the axis of the Palais des Tuileries Gardens with an alley of trees.

As Until 1716, William L'Isle's plan Paris shows that a short stretch of roads and fields and vegetable plots are still separated from the large ax of the Tuileries gardens from the plant "Avenue des Tuileries, which was punctuated by a circular basin where the Rond-Point today, and already it has been planted with rows of trees radiating from it that led to the river through woods and fields.

In the late 1700s, the Champs-Elysees had become a fashionable avenue, grove plantations on either side were thick enough to be given formal rectangular glades (cabinets green). Queen Marie Antoinette drove with her friends and took music lessons at the Place Louis XV.

Because of the high rents, few people live on the Champs-Elysees buildings tend to be occupied by offices. The splendid architecture of the grandiose "Champs Elysees" is admired by many people.

The Champs-Elysees, because of its size and proximity to many sightseeing attractions such as the Arc de Triomphe, has made the site of several famous (and infamous) military parades, the most famous of which are the months of March German troops celebrating the Fall of France Day 14 June 1940 and the subsequent entry of the Free French and American forces in the city after his release August 25, 1944.

While walking in the gardens and tree-lined avenues, we could even meet a puppet theater, outdoor children, a popular tradition French through the ages.

Hand in hand with its location is its reputation as a premier shopping destination and Avenue is lined with cinemas, cafes and upscale specialty stores. Finally, the avenue is one of the most famous streets shopping in the world. Benetton, the Disney Store, Nike, Zara, the largest in continental Europe Gap and Virgin Megastore and Sephora occupy major spaces.

Traditionally Home of luxury brands, the Champs-Elysées confirms its appeal as a world-class real estate location first: he has recently seen the opening new high-end department stores as the biggest Louis Vuitton stores worldwide, which still hosts an exhibition room, and Adidas opened in February as well 2007, its largest store in the world in a beautiful old building with great class. Nike has done the same on the south side of the avenue famous by the opening its largest store in European concept known as "Nike Paris.
