What to do and see in Champs-Elysées Quartier, Ile-de-France: The Best Things to do
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.

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.

Petit Palais is a stunning building. It is located across the road from its "twin" the Grand Palais. It was built in 1900 for the so called Universal Exhibition, and it must have made quite an impression. Today it is part of the Museum of Fine Arts. It is a wonderful example of extraordinarily beautiful architecture. Worth a look if you have the time.

7. Bastille Day
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 45 reviews
The Bastille Day is the 14th of July. It is the French National Day and can be celebrated all over France. The Grand Parade can be seen in Paris : France Police, Air Force, Navy and Army parade on the famous Champs-Elysées Avenue. And the climax is a great fireworks display in the evening, at the Eiffel Tower.

it was 4 years ago when we were in Paris for Le Quatorze Julliet and it was an amazing day from start to finish. I spent many summers in France during my childhood and experienced the celebrations in various small french villages and Orleans so I wanted my sons to get an idea of what the day was about. We were staying with our friends in Paris and we left early and joined the crowds on the Metro to head to the Champs Elysees to watch the parade.. it was a long day standing and such crowds.. but the whole day was filled with things to see and do. The parade was nothing like anything we had witnessed before with all aspects of the forces represented - the President led the parade and there was everything from missiles paraded down the street to parachutists landing from a plane! The Pompiers (Fire brigade were also honoured for the work that they do... and the sense of national pride was evident. Uniformed officers were happy to pose for photos and the opportunity to check out the tanks etc.. the in the evening the light show at the Eiffel Tower. Honestly, if you are fortunate to be in Paris for this event it's worth braving the crowds (I personally hate that sort of environment but I had a fanatastic day)

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.

The city's largest public square has a lengthy history as well - it served as the site of the guillotine that was used to execute Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette, Robespierre and many others during the French Revolution.
Reviewed By DipuKV - Pune, India
Place de la Concorde has so much to offer - the obelisk at the centre and so many sightseeing options in all directions - views of the Eiffel Tower, Place Vendome in one direction, Madeleine in another, Louvre & Jardins des Tuileries in yet another and Champs Elysees / Arc de Triomphe in the fourth!
