Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Champs-Élysées, Ile-de-France
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

The Arc de triomphe was begun in 1806, on the orders of Napoleon I to honour the victories of his Grande Armée. Inspired by the great arches of antiquity, the monument combines the commemorative with the symbolic and it has always played a major role in the national republican consciousness. Every evening, the flame is lit on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier from the Great War. An exhibition portrays the history and explains its symbolic importance, nationally as well as internationally. The terrace provides superb views both by day and night across the city and its great sweeping avenues.-Opening hours : April to September: from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.; October to March: from 10 a.m. to 10.30 p.m.-Closed: 1st January, 1st May, 8th May (morning), 14th July (morning), 11th November (morning), 25th December-Entry fees: Adults = 9,5 €; Concessions = 6 €; Free admission: 18-25 years old* (citizens of one of the 27 countries of the EU or are non-European permanent residents of France) * excluding school groups

One of Paris's most elegant shopping strips.

When I did my research on Paris before my first trip in May 2019, knew I wanted to shop on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore. This is the location where all the luxury fashion brands have a store in the heart of Paris. I saved all of my shopping to do at Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore because I wanted something that screamed Paris. There is every luxury brand from La Perla to my favorite, ALEXANDER MCQUEEN. A must when shopping in Paris but don't forget your passport for your VAT discounts.

This street near the Champs-Élysées is known for its wide array of clothing shops, including nearly all of fashion's biggest names.

When in Paris, I always find time to stroll along Avenue Montaigne and do some window shopping. Unfortunately, many designer boutiques were closed in the evening with windows shuttered, but I took some photos of the opened ones and added to my “Avenue Montaigne”, (Paris) “Via Monte Napoleone” (Milan) and “The 5th Avenue” (NYC) collection. I never feel compelled to make a purchase - the window displays of the Avenue Montaigne are like a museum visit for me. The art of high design at its very best - Chanel, Valentino, Nina Ricci, Louis Vuitton... So enjoyable! I must admit that prices in the US are better though.

L'Harmonie Triomphant de la Discorde, or The Triumphant Harmony of Discord, is a beautifully made work of art, standing at the top of one end of the Grand Palais. There is another similar sculpture at the other end, called Immortality Advancing Time. Both are allegorical works of art. They are quite striking and are certainly worth stopping for.

I cannot tell a more appropriate place for the Unknown soldier tomb than this one beneath the Triumphal Arch. It is adorned with an eternal flame and ever present flowers. To reach it please use the underground passageway, do not try to run across the Etoile. Great views of Champs Elysees.

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia
Fontaine des Fleuves is a beautiful fountain. This cast iron Fountain of the Rivers was constructed in 1838 and celebrates the Rhone and Rhine Rivers and France's naval power. It is next to the Egyptian obelisk and it also has a twin fountain on the other side of Place de la Concorde. Worth checking out.
