8 tourist Attractions from Champs-Élysées to The Louvre: A Paris walking tour
With a paper plate of chocolate-banana chocolat banane waffle in one hand, I surveyed the park for a vacant seat and found one punctuating a grove of manicured trees. Sweet, I whispered as I pulled a chair and settled. The scene was just as cliché as I imagined, but, heck, I was loving it. I was enjoying waffles in one corner of the Tuileries garden and listening to Lana del Rey while keeping my eyes on that pointy metal structure that poked the Parisian sky — the Eiffel Tower.

But the world-famous landmark would have to wait at that point. It was my first day in Paris, and the tower was not yet part of the plan. That afternoon was reserved for Champs-Élysées, ending here at the Tuileries Garden. just in front of me was place de la Concorde, Paris’s largest public square. The place is serene now. Over 200 years ago, however, it was the site of one of the most important events in French history. This was where King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette were executed by guillotine. Today, the only commotion that occurs here is that of tourists finding a good spot for a quick rest after hours of sightseeing.
My walk began at the other end of Champs-Élysées, a 1.9-km long boulevard that connects place de la Concorde and place Charles de Gaulle. A stroll along the famed avenue introduces many of the city’s most popular tourist spots. bunlardan bazıları.

1. Arc de Triomphe
Arc de Triomphe has its own metro station called Charles-de-Gaulle-Étoile, making it an optimal start of a walking tour. Smack at the center of place Charles de Gaulle in the 8th arrondissement, it enables a terrific view of Champs-Élysées.
Looks small but…
Voila. It’s a pretty colossal structure.
The Arc is one of the most iconic monuments in Paris. Erected between 1806 and 1836, it was commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte after the victory at Austerlitz and was designed by Jean Chalgrin in honor of those who fought at the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. names of generals and all French victories are inscribed on the structure.
I had a foolish impression before coming here that the arc was small (I don’t know why) and was, thus, surprised to be greeted by a Neoclassical mammoth. It measures 50 meters in height, 45 meters in length, and 22 meters in width.
2. Champs-Élysées
The boulevard itself is worth a look. Each year, it plays host to many Bastille Day (July 14) events including a military parade. On regular days, it boasts rectangular groves that fringe a maze of retail shops, theaters, and restaurants.
Champs Elysees is one busy road.

So tempted to just run around and disturb their peace, haha
There was a time when Champs-Élysées was just a flat shade of green on the map: fields and gardens. The initial plan, made by André Le Nôtre in 1667, pegged the site to be just an extension of the nearby Tuileries Garden. Over centuries, it has evolved into one of the most famous and most fashionable streets in the world.
3. fashion Stores
The area has become synonymous with shopping. shopping has been ingrained in its history, starting in 1860 when the merchants along the boulevard established an association. now called Comité Champs-Élysées, “it is the oldest standing committee in Paris,” according to my good pal Wikipedia.
Flagship store of Louis Vuitton
Popular brands and luxury labels are all here, including the flagship store of Louis Vuitton, which stands proudly on the southern side of the road.
4. Grand Palais
Another important historic site along Champs-Élysées is the Grand Palais, a “monument dedicated by the Republic to the glory of French art.” The grand, imposing structure edifice houses an exhibition hall and a museum complex. The Beaux-Arts beauty also serves as the venue for many of Chanel’s fashion shows.
As viewed from Champs Elysees
Built in 1897, the palace wears a blend of classical and Art Nouveau designs, most evident in its stone facade and ironwork, as well as in its grand staircase. the most appealing are its glass barrel-vaulted roofs, framed by light steel, allowing natural light in.
Just across the Grand Palais is the Petit Palais.
5. Jardins des Champs-Élysées
At this point, you’ll probably be exhausted from all the hours of walking. fret not! beyond the groves of trees that line the avenue are pockets of greens, perfect for a brief rest. Some statues and fountains adorn the gardens. but you might want to spend a few euros on a serving of crepe from the unassuming stalls that hide under the foliage.
Kıskançlık.

6. De La Concorde Place
Paris’teki en büyük kamu meydanı olan Place de la Concorde, Champs-élysées’in doğu ucundaki 8.64 hektara yayılıyor. En önemli özelliği: Luxor Dikilitaşı, sitenin tam merkezinde dev bir iğne şeklindeki Mısır anıtı. Dikilitaş, Jacques Ignace Hittorff tarafından tasarlanan Fontaines de la Concorde tarafından çevrilidir. Ancak yerin kendisi 1755 yılında Kral XV Louis onuruna Ange-Jacques Gabriel’i ortaya koydu.

Fransız Devrimi’nin zirvesinde, meydana yeni bir isim verildi: uygun bir şekilde, “Place de la Révolution”. Giyotin, 21 Ocak 1793’te Kral XVI Louis’in saltanatını (ve hayatını) sona erdirecekti.
7. Tuileries Bahçesi
Place de la Concorde’un hemen doğusunda, bir zamanlar Fransız Devrimi’nden sonra halka açılan bir kraliyet sarayının bahçesi olan Jardin des Tuileries yatıyor. İtalyan Rönesans Bahçesi’nin inşası, kocası Kral Henry II’nin ölümünden sonra 1564 yılında Kraliçe Catherine de Medicis tarafından sipariş edildi. Floransa’dan bir mimar olan Bernard de Carnesse’nin yardımını aldı. Sitenin mülkiyeti bir hükümdardan diğerine aktarıldığı için yüzyıllar boyunca bir dizi yeniden tasarım gördü.
