A Journey Back in Time Down the Avenue des Champs

The Avenue des Champs Élysées is a boulevard in Paris 1.9 km long and 70 m wide, which runs between the Obelisk of Luxur at Place de la Concorde, and the Arc de Triomphe at Place Charles de Gaulle.

Champs Élysées means “Elysian Fields”—the final resting place for heroes from Greek Mythology.

In France, they call it la plus belle avenue du monde “the world’s most beautiful avenue”.
