The Champs-Élysées
It’s not the widest or the longest avenue in the world, but almost everyone agrees that it’s certainly the most beautiful avenue in the world… and one of the most expensive too, for businesses. Famous brand names fights relentlessly to have their own space there, and the selection process is ruthless (H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch and Dolce & Gabbana have only just got the OK, and probably won’t open until 2010).
But there’s more to ‘Les Champs’ (as Parisians call it) than just shopping – although here you can do it in amazing style. With its wide leafy pavements, numerous cafés and cinemas and the most amazing view from the Arc de Triomphe straight down to the Place de la Concorde, the Champs Elysées is luxurious and stunning like nowhere else in the world. And don’t forget that nearby there are all the restaurants you could ask for, bars, nightlife and the Lido.
It’s also one of the city’s most popular meeting spots and often used for popular events. The Bastille parade that marches down it on 14th July is always impressive, it’s the venue for the last leg of the Tour de France and New Year’s Eve there is a rowdy but good-natured night with almost everyone holding a bottle of champagne!
Basically, if you visit Paris and miss the Champs Elysees, you haven’t really seen Paris…

Charley Toorop exhibition
at the Paris Museum of Modern Art
|
Fundamentally realistic, Charley Toorop (1891-1955) made her self-portraits, portraits of his relatives and still lives have an amazing presence, in tune with the times, and impregnated with a highly sensitive social realism deeply anchored in modernity.
With 85 of her paintings on show, as well as 20 others by her contemporaries (she was a friend and collector of Piet Mondrian, amongst others), you will get a glimpse of her many influences, learn how she helped avant garde cinema, and see how her father's influence as a painter carried on through her to her son, Edgar Fernhout.
