About
Fatos rápidos: Ao passear por ali, a mistura de vitrines luxuosas, cafés elegantes e o aroma de castanhas assadas anima os finais de tarde. Em grandes celebrações a via vira passarela para desfiles e eventos, com multidões que ocupam quase toda a sua largura e criam um clima festivo difícil de esquecer.
Destaques: Pensa numa faixa de 1,9 km onde plátanos alinhados criam um túnel verde, e nas manhãs de domingo o cheiro de croissant quente se mistura ao som distante de passos apressados e das bicicletas. Uma tradição curiosa: desde 1975 a etapa final do Tour de France termina ali, e nos minutos do sprint os bares vertem vinho, as luzes se acendem como holofotes e a multidão conta o sprint em voz baixa.
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.
