Arc de Triomphe

Stretching grandly from the Arc de Triomphe to the place de la Concorde, the Champs-Elysées has long been cited as the perfect metaphor of the Parisian love of symmetry. However, by the 1980’s, it had become a garish strip, with too much traffic, too many fast food restaurants, and too many panhandlers. In the 90’s, the Gaullist mayor of Paris, Jacques Chirac, launched a massive cleanup. The major change has been in broadened sidewalks, with new rows of trees planted. The old glory? Perhaps it’s gone forever, but what an improvement.

History

Whatever it is you’re looking for, in the 8th it will be the city’s “best, grandest, and most impressive”. It has the best restaurant in Paris (Taillevent), the sexiest strip joint (Crazy Horse Saloon), the most splendid square in all of France (place de la Concorde), the grandest hotel in France (The Crillon), the most impressive triumphal arch on the planet (L’Arc de Triomphe), the world’s most expensive residential street (Avenue Montaigne), the world’s oldest Métro station (Franklin-D-Roosevelt) and the most ancient monument in Paris (Obelisk of Luxor, 3300 years old).

La Madeleine

La Madeleine is one of Paris’ most familiar landmarks, familiar to all for its distinctively striking Greek Temple appearance and its convenient position at the junction of the boulevards with with an artery from the place de la Concorde. Next to the church is a flower market and behind it, the most famous ‘epiceries’ of Hediard and Fauchon.
