The Champs-Elysees is one of the most exclusive shopping strips in the world, lined with a cornucopia of luxury boutiques. The tree-lined avenue was laid out in the 17th century and stretches for almost two kilometres between Place de la Concorde and Place Charles de Gaulle, home to the magnificent Arc de Triomphe.
Strolling along the Champs-Elysees, you'll see dazzling haute couture boutiques by iconic French brands, such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Dior. International designers are also well represented on Champs-Elysees, with boutiques by Levi Strauss, Swarovski and Nina Ricci.
In addition to high-end fashion, Champs-Elysees features stores by Adidas, Abercrombie & Fitch and Banana Republic. If you need a break from shopping, enjoy coffee and croissants at one of the chic cafes. Visit at night to admire the illuminated storefronts and the Arc de Triomphe lit up with spotlights.
