This area is characterized by its namesake avenue which extends northwest from the Louvre to the modern business district, punctuated by the iconic Arc de Triomphe. Grand embassies stand among impressive offices and presidential palaces; architecture from 19th century Universal Exhibitions, homes, art galleries, and 19th century streets designed by Baron Haussmann flank haute-couture boutiques. This neighborhood never rests, buzzing with visitors from around the world at all times of day and night, all within a stone's throw of the Seine.

- Sightseer795347Huntington, New York4 contributionsShoppers DelightOnce-in-a-lifetime experience. I was born in raised in the city of New York and have been to Manhattan millions of times. This Avenue has all of Manhattan beat in my opinion. Just the fact that the sidewalks are twice the width and can handle so many pedestrians shows it was designed for shoppersVisited November 2022Written May 21, 2023
- Nancy A14 contributionsA must seeSo many cafes and stores. Excellent people-watching. As Americans, we were very amused to see a line of people waiting to enter Footlocker the same way others were lined up outside Louis Vuitton. The sidewalks are so wide and cleaned nightly, it was entertaining to join the flow of people.Visited May 2023Written June 1, 2023
- beachlovernc2015Leland, North Carolina1,948 contributionsTake a stroll - loads to seeYou can't go to Paris and not stroll the Champs Elysees. Extra wide sidewalk areas accommodate the cafes and the crowds. High end shopping experiences to McDonalds - it is all fun to stroll by, people watch and window shop. Start and the Arc de Triomphe and work your way down the avenue. Tree lined and flowers too- lovely street to visit even with the crowds!Visited April 2023Written June 9, 2023
- Traveller20175Arizona527 contributionsNothing great but a nice stroll along the streetWe first visited the Arc de Triomphe and then walked along the Champs Elysees. It is a nice bustling street with many high end fashion stores and nice cafes. Nothing very much different from any streets with fashion stores really. But still it was nice walking along the street. We did not enter any store and make any purchases but just wanted to get a feel for the street. Half way thru it started raining and we exited out the street to the nearest metro on the street itself. Definitely you can walk along the street if you are visiting the Arc, even if you are not into shopping. It was nice to see the brightly decorated stores and just the feel of walking on Champs Elysees in Paris was nice :)Visited April 2023Written June 16, 2023
- XSki007New Jersey1,370 contributionsWalk It Slowly!So much to see and explore. More touristy than I’d like, however it remains high end and very beautiful. Treat yourself and get on line for some of the high end stores. Marvel at the goods, and the prices lol!!Visited May 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten July 1, 2023
- Girish DHyderabad, India236 contributionsIconic shopping street in Paris with luxury shops.Very long shopping street known for luxury shops and Paris iconic shopping street. Good to visit to get the glimpse of this street which lead to Arc de Triumph. May not have much significance now as there are many shopping places around in Paris. There are fine restaurants and cafés around to sit and eat. You have to be ready for 3-4 km walking if want to cover entire street.Visited June 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten July 20, 2023
- AlexanderDJackson, New Jersey4,615 contributionsIconic StreetHow many avenues in the world are more well-known and renowned than this one? Perhaps Pennsylvania Avenue in DC, or 5th Avenue in NYC. So much history but also so much high-end shopping and touristy kitsch. But as you browse the stores imagine what it must have been like in the summer of 1944 when De Gaulle marched down here following the Liberation of Paris.Visited August 2023Traveled with familyWritten August 23, 2023
- Steffan O3 contributionsamazing experience!We stayed in a very nice flat in Paris near the Champs-Elysees. This area in Paris is not very cheap, you can find department stores with the best brands. Dining out in this area is not cheap either but it is worth it. Walking around here is an attraction of the city, watching the sunrise from our room window was a great luxury.Visited July 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten September 17, 2023

This prestigious location is also home to a number of luxury brands, and several Michelin-starred restaurants.

It seem a waste of time to walk down this street if you were not interested in expensive things. Surprisingly, there is a lot of things to absorb. We spent an afternoon walked from The Arc, through the placid de Concord, the Jardin des Tuileries, to the front of the Louvre museum. We did stop at McDonald and the Renault Store for breaks.

Unfortunately, it was raining the day we were walking around this area so we found it to be just another large shopping area. We did stop for a delicious lunch at an open air cafe and it was great for people watching. Wear comfy shoes....so many women were wearing their high heels and you could see they wished they were in comfy's instead.

This is the street to visit if you’re a high end shopper or just want to see the sights. Plenty of shops and restaurants to enjoy. There are also some affordable stores on the strip after H&M sued the city to open a store and won.

Champs Elysees is for sure the most famous street in Paris. It streches from the Triumph Arch down to Place Concorde. Along the way there're many famous and historic shops and restaurants. The avenue is crowded from early morning till late night.
At night it receives a special look when all lit, and by far the best one is around Christmas, all decorated, when we visited this time.
Due to high popularity and history, cafes and restaurants here are extremely expensive, so choose another place for dining and shopping which Paris has plenty of.
TIP: best view of entire Champs is from the top of Arc de Triumphe.

Undoubtedly the most famous avenue in Paris, this nearly 2 km stretch from Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Concorde, lined by serene parks and exclusive shops and department stores, is a must-stroll whenever you’re in Paris. With all the exclusive retailers that you can think of setting up their flagship stores here, it is no surprised that this street is also one of the most expensive address in the world. If walking is a challenge and the crowds spook you, then hopping onto the Big Bus is also a viable way of appreciating the grandeur of this avenue. And remember to tune up Joe Dassin’s Les Champs-Elysees on your Spotify to create the vibe of this world famous avenue.

Walking towards the Arc de Triumph along the boulevard on a cold winter noon was a great feeling. Napoleon has build those wide boulevards and you are not feeling pushed by the buildings around.
Take an hour to walk it up and down and have your break at the Arc.
Bon voyage!

If this street was kept cleaner and more had less common shops and more fancy boutiques, it would live up to it's reputation a bit more. However as it is, it carries a sense of charm and being within sight of the Arc de Triomphe it is very dignified. The avenue was quite crowded in the evening and there was a lot of cigarette smoke around.
Overall, this is a street with a picturesque view and still carries some class and elegance.

We walked several times as our hotel was nearby. Our first walk was nice as it was all new to us . The Arc de Triomphe is beautiful and majestic .
We’ll worth the walk.
The avenue in general has a less than grand feel. There are women laying on the sidewalks holding out cups for coins. Very sad and while I don’t know for sure, it’s very suspicious that someone placed them there. There are the occasional street “ shows” that are found on large city streets.
The trees and buildings lining the street are beautiful. I’m sure the apartments are VERY expensive and I doubt the residents appreciate if all the activities lining the grand avenue.
The cafes are all about average as well as McDonalds and Five guys which did not lend to the atmosphere.
I would do it once and that’s it!.

Walking the Champs-Élysées is a tourist box checking exercise. You do it just to say you did it. Get a great photo of the Arc de Triomphe and then do something interesting. The street is filled with overpriced cafes, shopping chains, vagrants, and raucous teens. Do you really need to go all the way to Paris to visit the Apple store or Sephora? Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to find the street entirely blocked off due to protests.
There is one good time to visit and that is the first Sunday of every month when the street is closed to vehicle traffic. Crowds can spread out into the street and have a lovely stroll. Definitely go if you are here on a first Sunday.

Здравствуйте. Можете порекомендовать гида? собираюсь в Париж на днях, страшно одной гулять. По телевизору показывают, что творится на Елисейских, думаю стоит ли вообще ехать

Здравствуйте. Я сам только вернулся из Парижа. Мне как раз повезло, что я взял себе частного гида. Транспорт работает через раз - часть автобусов не ходит из-за забастовок, часть станций метро перекрыто. Ничего не понятно. Все на французском. Смог посмотреть весть Париж только благодаря своему гиду, сам бы не разобрался. Да и даже не знал бы, куда можно или нельзя соваться. Он так грамотно провел маршрут, что забастовки остались где-то в далеке и нам не помешали.
Не уверен, что здесь можно давать ссылки, да и не хочется рекламу разводить. Если Вам нужно, можете посмотреть у меня в аккаунте есть отзыв их конторе.

Buonasera a tutti,
Vorrei chiedervi se davvero quest'anno non saranno presenti ne i mercatini di Natale ne la ruota panoramica sugli Champs Elysees?
Se fosse davvero così qualcuno mi saprebbe dire se sono stati spostati e dove?
Grazie mille

I mercatini di Natale saranno presso la torre Eiffel champ de mars, alla Défense, e presso il Boulevard Saint Germain la ruota panoramica a place de la concorde
