Paris Champs Elysees

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…

Model Children

an exhibition at the Orangerie

A surprising - but interesting - subject for an exhibition, Model Children looks at how the children surround painters were depicted in the ir paintings, not only their direct offspring but also nephews, nieces and others from the 'extended families' that often gravitated around famous artists.



With works by Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Pablo Picasso and many more, you'll be able to see the particular treatment that knowing the subject brings, as well as get an understanding of the special problems related to painting a child rather than an adult.



And not only are the 'little devils' themselves shown, but painting (or sculpting) them was also a good way to include many objects or characters that were very absent from paintings of adults.



A refreshing and different look at a particular branch of art.
