About
Nopeat faktat: Pituudeltaan noin 1,9 kilometriä pitkä, puiden reunustama bulevardi houkuttelee ikkunaostoksille, kahviloiden tuoksuille ja iltakävelyille. Valaistut juhlallisuudet ja paraatit muuttavat tunnelman hetkessä, jolloin katu pulppuaa ihmisistä ja yllättävistä näyistä.
Kohokohdat: More than 300,000 people gather along this avenue every year on Bastille Day to watch a massive military parade that features over 4,300 troops, 200 horses, and 100 vehicles. By night, the trees lining the boulevard sparkle with 240,000 light bulbs, creating a magical golden canopy that transforms the entire experience into a fairytale.
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.
