This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Champs-Elysees, Avenue des Champs Elysees, 75008 Paris France

Your tour begins among the famously luxurious restaurants and boutiques of the Champs-Élysées – named for the Elysian Fields, Greek mythology’s heavenly land of plenty. As restaurant staff lay out candles for an evening of romantic dinners, you’ll start your stroll along the wide, straight boulevard toward the towering Arc de Triomphe.

Along the way, your passionate local guide will reveal the high-society origins of this fashionable district – and can recommend nearby places to visit to enrich your Parisian experience. You’ll hear how, in the 16th century, Ekaterina Medici was inspired to extend the promenade of Tuileries Garden from the Louvre into the Paris countryside, where gardens overflowed with fragrant herbs and the royal family hunted ducks. Over time, impressive residences with gorgeous gardens were built along the fashionable avenue, and it remains the widest and most beautiful boulevard in all of Paris.
