Champs Elysees

Champs Elysees

This the the major shopping avenue in Paris with one end starting at the Arc de Tromphe and ending at the Rond Point. The variety of shops here is amazing and so are some of the things you may see. To begin we first saw a group of Rugby team supporters take over the road for about 1/2 a block cheering with their banner and stopping traffic. Our second incident here was the Nike store, which I was dying to get into, was closed for a few hours due to 2 major tennis starts signing autographs. The gathering was interesting and we did get some tennis balls stamped Nike Paris for free! Being an American living in Germany for 2 years this street was my haven with stores like Nike, Adidas, Disney, and a 3-story Gap store. There are also upscale stores such as Louis Vuitton, Cartier, and Hugo Boss. This is also where the Planet Hollywood is located, and for Ice Cream fans Haggen Das. There is also great people-watching here from locals to tourists of all nationalities. There is an underground parking place, but as with all places in Paris the metro is best, we got off at the Arc de Tromph stop and walked to the other end and then on to the Louvre, a long walk that consumed a good portion of the day, but also allowing you to take in many of the sight sounds and smells of Paris.

Champs Elysees

A late afternoon promenade down the Champs Elysees is Paris at its best. Anchored by the Arc de Triomphe, this is the most famous street in Paris, and one of the most famous in the world. Here you can find some of France's most celebrated brands, such as Louis Vuitton. Even if you cannot afford the products in these stores, this is window shopping at its finest. The Champs Elysees is a great place to stretch your legs after a long flight, or sit on a bench and read the newspaper as the sun sets behind the Arc de Triomphe. It is easily reached by metro as the Arc de Triomphe sits above an immense metro station.
