Eas­i­ly the most recog­nised avenue in Paris if not the world, Champs-Élysées attracts tourists from all over the world due to its his­tor­i­cal sig­nif­i­cance.

Home to the Arc de Tri­om­phe mon­u­ment, the 2‑k­ilo­me­tre-long avenue is lined with horse-chest­nut trees, cafes, the­atres, and shops.

Spe­cial events tak­ing place on Avenue des Champs-Élysées include the annu­al Bastille Day mil­i­tary parade and the fin­ish­ing leg of the Tour de France bike race.
