The Champs Elysees is one of the world\u2019s greatest and most elegant boulevards; used for many events throughout history. Military Marches, the Tour de France, and many tourists being able to see the triumphal <a href=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/arc-de-triomphe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ach De Triomphe<\/a>, at one end and in a perfect line of symmetry the <a href=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/musee-de-louvre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Louvre<\/a> with a playground of designer shops, the Place De La Concorde (home of the guillotine) and the Obelisk of Luxor in the middle.<\/p>\r\n<h5>\u00a0Creating the Champs Elysees<\/h5>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\nThe Champs Elysees is 1.2 km long and 70 m wide, there is a committee headed by Louis Vuitton that was formed in 1916 to promote the avenue. The committee still stands and it is the oldest in Paris. Laws in place that there are to be NO modern buildings; must stick to the same theme and design to keep it beautiful. Walk up one side and down the other; both sides have something that will blow you away.

There are plenty of celebrity hangouts and glitzy nightclubs; one, in particular, the Lido Nightclub; this was made famous when Elvis Presley gave an impromptu concert with his army buddies.

Not only do you get to check out the museum of cars; the new cars coming on the market; the technology of the cars but some of the showrooms do fun quirky activities. Sit in an F1 Racecar, Play a virtual race game; jump in a photo booth and there is even a slide in the Citroen showroom; which winds down into a big ball pit.

The houses and shops along this street have annual rents that can get upwards of 1 million Euros per 100 square meters.
