Swamps, wasteland and crops. This is what the Champs-Elysées was almost four centuries ago. In 1670, Louis XIV asked Le Nôtre, the gardener who designed the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, to develop this uninhabited area. The King's gardener then traces, in the extension of the Tuileries, a large alley lined with trees and lawns which goes from the future Place de la Concorde to the current roundabout on the Champs-Elysées. The urban history of the avenue began in 1765, when Louis XV authorized the construction of buildings on both sides of the Champs. Five years later, the Marquis de Marigny had the alleyways that became Avenues de Marigny and Matignon traced, as well as the Allee des Veuve, future Avenue Montaigne

Frequently described as ‘the world’s most beautiful avenue’, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées is a Paris must-see. Tourists and Parisians can be spotted strolling at any time of day or night and at any time of year along this iconic two-kilometre stretch between the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe. Like the Eiffel Tower, the avenue is a symbol of Paris. It is lined with restaurants (l’Atelier Renault, Ledoyen etc.), luxury boutiques (Louis Vuitton, Mont-Blanc, Guerlain, Ferrari etc.), flagship stores (Abercrombie, Sephora etc.) and nightclubs. It is also the setting each year for major events such as the Bastille Day military parade, the arrival of the Tour de France and the Christmas lights. Finally, the Avenue des Champs-Elysées has some of the top museums in Paris: the Grand Palais, the Petit Palais, the Palais de la Découverte and the Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton.
