Champs Elysées Neighborhood

The 8th & 17th Arrondissements

The world-renowned Avenue des Champs Elysées is the spine of this busy Paris neighborhood. The “most beautiful avenue in the world” runs for nearly a mile between the Place de la Concorde and the Place de l’Etoile, where the Arc de Triomphe stands. The perfectly aligned path of monuments continues west to the Arche de la Défense, another two miles down the line. While the Champs Elysées and surrounding streets offer many elegant restaurants, luxury hotels, and upscale cafés, the area around Ternes and the Parc Monceau has a much more charming and authentic atmosphere, if you ask us.
