About
Hurtige fakta: Strøget bobler af liv om aftenen, hvor cafélys og butiksvinduer blander sig med duften af nybagt brød og lyden af travle fodtrin. Hundreder af butikker og biografer ligger langs den brede allé, så et kort besøg kan let forvandles til en hel dag fyldt med mode, film og uventede fund.
Højdepunkter: Tro det eller ej, gaden strækker sig 1,9 kilometer og har fungeret som afslutning for Tour de France siden 1975, så du kan høre hvinende cykeldæk og se den gule trøje kæmpe om pladsen mens champagnepropper springer. Hver 14. juli ruller en pompøs militærparade forbi med lavtflyvende jagerfly der maler himlen blå, hvid og rød, duften af ristede kastanjer blander sig med metallet fra uniformerne og sceneriet føles næsten filmisk.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the avenue stretches about 2 kilometers end to end.
- For the classic shot, photograph the Arc de Triomphe from mid-avenue or climb the Arc for a centered view.
- Avoid peak lunchtime on weekends, head out early or after 7pm for fewer crowds and better light.
- Keep belongings secure near metro exits and big stores, pickpockets target busy stretches.
