France is well known for its splendor and beauty.
One of the most remarkable places in the country is Champs Elysees.
Located in Nigh, this avenue is a historic place which is a famous tourist
destination in France because of its magnificence. The full name of
the place is Avenue
des Champs Elysees. The place gets its name from Elysian Fields which
are the final resting place for Gods and heroes in the Greek mythology.
The avenue is known rightly as one of the most beautiful avenues of
the world. The tree-lined avenue is the sight for sore eyes but it doesn’t get its name because of the green trees that surround the area but the real reason is that the land was originally used as market gardens where farmers would grow their vegetables and fruits and sell them in the local market. The wife of King Henry IV, Marie de Medici suggested that the fields should be cleared and gardens of Palais des Tuileries be extended. After some planning, an avenue was created with trees planted in straight lines along both sides. By 18th century, the tress had thickened and the avenue had become quite a splendid sight. It was around this time that people began to construct their houses on this avenue with amazing gardens and landscaping.
Champs Elysees has managed to retain its status as
a prestigious place even after all those centuries. This avenue has
now become one of the most expensive places to live in the world. There
are numerous shops and boutiques in the avenue selling branded and designer
products. Among some of the famous buildings located on the avenue is
the Hotel de Crillon which was where the kings and queens of the old
used to dine and spend time with friends. There are other famous hotels
as well such as Marriott Champs Elysees. Avenue also houses cinemas and theaters where rich people from all over the world still go to spend
their evening with friends and family. Whether you want to shop at the
famous avenue in the fashion capital of the world, or just take a tour
of this beautiful place; you are bound to fall in love with the historic
avenue as soon as you set eyes on it.
