Paris has more than its fair share of internationally acclaimed icons. Walk in the footsteps of Napolean as your guide disentangle the trials and tribulations of l'Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Elysées; they are bursting with long-lost tales. Imagine a Paris of old as you take in the views of the Eiffel Tower and spectacular avenues from atop the world-famous archway. Les Champs emanates glamour as you stroll side-by-side with voguish Parisians through one of the most famous and beautiful avenues in the world. This expansive street is lined with perfectly manicured horse-chestnut trees, divine cafes, and luxury specialty shops.
Journey through the fascinating history of star-shaped l'Arc de Triomphe. Commemorate the memories of those lives lost during the brutal French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, and ponder the identity of the unknown soldier from WWI as you stand respectfully beside his tomb. Climb the steep steps to the top of the monument and catch your breath as you appreciate the spectacular views of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, the Sacré-Coeur and the rest of the bustling city. Imagine for a moment the history that this monument bore witness to including the successful biplane stunt Charles Godefroy performed under the Arc in 1919.
Your guide will entertain you with many deep-rooted secrets and stories that the Champs-Élysées holds. Inhale the magnificent avenue created from swamplands and is now an extension of the Louvre's Tuileries Garden. Solemnly tread the paved Place de la Concorde that saw atrocious, yet notable public executions, including the execution of King Louis XVI during the French Revolution. Meander your way along the tree-lined avenue and its various sculptures, monuments, and landmarks that make the Champs-Élysées so remarkable; they include Winston Churchill and L'Immortalité Devant le Temps. There are entertainment, dining, and shopping experiences to enjoy along this 1.9 km stretch.
