Where to stay in Champs-Elysées
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
A stay in Champs-Élysées is set by which institution it sits nearest, La Madeleine, the Musée Jacquemart-André, or the Petit Palais and the Palais de la Découverte together. Museums outnumber the churches. The Palais Galliera and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris put fashion collections a few streets apart.
The Parc urbain de la Concorde gives the quarter open ground.

La Madeleine anchors the church list, with the Église Saint-Philippe-du-Roule and the Église Saint-Pierre-de-Chaillot beside it.
