About Champs-Elysées
Where to stay in Champs-Elysées
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
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.
About Champs-Elysées
What are the main landmarks in Champs-Elysées?
Palaces set the tone. The Petit Palais, the Palais Galliera and the Palais de la Découverte stand within the quarter, alongside the Musée Jacquemart-André, the Musée Baccarat and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris. La Madeleine anchors the church list, with the Église Saint-Philippe-du-Roule and the Église Saint-Pierre-de-Chaillot beside it.
Monuments mark other debts: the Monument to the American Volunteers, the Monument de la reconnaissance de la Belgique à la France and the monument to Komitas. The Panthéon Bouddhique and the Parc urbain de la Concorde close the list.
What is the history of Champs-Elysées?
The monuments look abroad. The Monument to the American Volunteers and the Monument de la reconnaissance de la Belgique à la France both stand within the quarter, one naming American volunteers and the other Belgium's thanks to France. A monument to Komitas marks an Armenian memory in the same streets.
Clubs and workshops leave their own record, from the automobile club de France to the cercle de l'Union Interalliees and the Musée Bouilhet-Christofle.
Where is Champs-Elysées?
