On maps, this stretch of tree-lined concrete is known as the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, thought it is fondly referred to by Parians as "La plus belle avenue du monde." Translation? The most beautiful avenue in the world.

Quick fact: The Champs-Élysées begins at the Arc de Triomphe (seen in photo) and extends to the Place de la Concorde. Not really that long, just that famous.
