This walking tour is a journey through the centuries, from the 1600s to the 1800s (when the Arc de Triomphe was built) and beyond to the glittering shops that today line the world’s most famous avenue.
On the way, you’ll pass near the Petit Palais’s monumental dome and the Grand Palais’s stunning glass ceiling. Soon, you’ll find yourself on the grand and glorious Champs-Élysées.
Your tour of the Champs-Élysées will be filled with the sights and sounds of the heart of Paris. Along the way, hear stories of the celebrities, dignitaries and parades that have filled this street, from glamorous 1950s movie stars to the November victory march after France was liberated from Nazi control.
If you love shopping — and love to splurge — your guide will also share tips on the top spots to pick up something special. The Champs-Elysées is definitely the best place to feel like Lily Collins from “Emily in Paris!”
Finish your guided Champs-Élysées walking tour at the entrance of the beautiful Arc de Triomphe. Your self-guided visit to the Arc de Triomphe, a monument to France’s war heroes and victories begun in 1806 (it took three centuries to build), will provide a unique view of Paris from above. See the Eiffel Tower and more as you enjoy the vibrant city scene and take photos you’ll cherish forever.
