Champs Elysée
The Champs-Élysées were originally fields. In 1616 Marie de Médicis( second wife of Henri IV) decided to put a long tree lined pathway .In 1667, Le Notre extended it upto the Tuileries. In 1724, the avenue was extended up to Chaillot hill ( site of Arc de Triomph). Later Champs-Elysees became a very fashionable place where Queen Marie Antoinette ( Wife of Louis XVI ) used to stroll with her friends.Today Champs-Élysées( one mile by 235 feet wide stretch ) is one of the famous avenues in the world . The official residence of the French President (Palais de l'Elysée) is located here. Every year on the Bastille Day (July 14th), the military parade passes through this avenue.
