Description
A visit to Paris would not be complete without walking along the majestic and verdant Champs-Élysées. Inspired by the Elysian Fields from Greek mythology, this iconic boulevard was built in the 17th century and is an integral part of the historic 'axe historique', linking the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe. Celebrations, including the Bastille Day parade and the Tour de France finale, take place there, and it is a popular spot for Parisians to celebrate.
