¡Bienvenue à Paris! Welcome to Paris! We are now at one of the most marvellous districts in Paris, home of the gorgeous Champs-Élysées Aveue, Église de la Madeleine, Place de la Concorde and the Grand & Petit Palais. – The 8th Arrondissement – We are going to walk through the hearh of this distric,

The Famous Rue Royale. This street conects the Madeleine Church to Place de la Concorde and is lined with grand buildings, luxury boutiques, and prestigious establishments like Dior, Channel, Gucci and Villeroy & Boch, which are the ones we have left behind. By the way!. Did you know that Channel and Dior

Are located along a passage named Le Village Royal? There are also other stores like Leica, Emling and Smuggler. The passage is also pretty quaint, and surely will be a worth place for some selfies. And why not? Whether you have time and cash, some shopping also… There are not only luxury stores here,

Also you can find some fancy cafés and restaurants like Maison de la Truffe, Fauchon and the renowned Ladurée, being this last one, located on the left corner crossing the main street. The development of this emblematic street started in 1758 under the supervision of the architect Gabriel Davioud, beneath the reign of Louis XIV.

The street was designed to connect the Place de la Concorde with the Madeleine Church, using a neoclassical architecture that matches along with its buildings, praising its elegant and symmetrical design. During the French Revolution, the street underwent changes in nomenclature, being briefly renamed to “Rue de la Révolution.”

However, the original name of Rue Royale was reinstated later due to its symbol of status and refinement, turning into a favored address for Parisian aristocracy. Our next landmark in this walking tour is the renowned, historic and prestigious fine dining restaurant in the world, Maxim’s.

The restaurant is known for its opulent Art Nouveau decor, characterized by luxurious furnishings, rich colors, and intricate details. The restaurant is located at the Right. The restaurant also has a unique collection of furniture and ‘Art Nouveau’ objects collected by Pierre Cardin for over sixty years.

An exceptional collection presented in an intimate place, recreating the atmosphere of an apartment of a courtesan of the Belle Époque from 1900’s. Due to the upcoming Olympic Games, we are going to see some renovation works through the streets of Paris, just like the one we are experiencing.

Now, we are aproaching to Place de la Concorde, which was also known as Place Louis XV. This square was created in the 18th century by the architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel, initially there was a equestrian statue of King Louis XV featuring this square, but was moved to the Place d’Armes at the Palace of Versailles

After the French Revolution. Nowadays, this sculpture can be admired at Musée du Louvre, and the statue located at the Place d’Armes in Versailles is a well made replica of the original. In front of this square, there are some prestigious and renowed buildings Like the Automobile Club de France, the one at the right.

The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, the next building ahead. And just in the corner of this footpath, the Hôtel de Crillon one of the luxuriest hotels in Paris, a night here starts roughly at € 2000, just look at the cars parked in front of the hotel entrance.

We are approaching to the U.S Embassy and it is forbidden to record here. Talking back to the Place de la Concorde. The square is known for its impressive architectural elements, including the Luxor Obelisk, fountains, and statues. The Luxor Obelisk was a gift from Egypt to France in the 19th century.

One of the darkest historical insights of this square happened during the French Revolution. The square was used as a public execution site, here were executed the King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. The Place de la Concorde was designed to be in alignment with several significant Parisian landmarks,

Including the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, the Tuileries Gardens and the Champs Elysses. And now we are going to traverse part of the Champs Elysees Avenue to Winston Churchill Avenue, where the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais are Located. Meanwhile, let’s wait at this side of the footpath for the traffic lights,

We do not want to end up as part of the road. The Champs Elysses, was originally created in the 17th century by Louis XIV with the help of the renowneds French landscape architects André Le Nôtre and Jacques Ignace Hittorff as an extension of the Tuileries Gardens.

This quite famous, quaint, bustling and broad avenue, stretches for approximately 2 kilometres from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe. It is known for its theaters, cafes, luxury shops, picturesque gardens and grand architecture. If you are in Paris by July, at the Bastille Day. You can enjoy the acclaimed

With a history dating back to the 18th century. It has welcomed numerous dignitaries, artists, and celebrities over the years, due to its high-quality gourmet French cuisine managed by the Chef Yannick Alléno, who had made the restaurant be listed at the Michellin Guide and also awarded with it’s famous stars.

We are now at the back of the Petit Palais and we are going to walk to Winston Churcill Avenue Meanwhile, let’s talk about the Petit and Gran Palais until we finally can admire them. The history of the Grand and the Petit Palais are related to one important event carried in the early 1900,

And constructed to be a grand showcase for French art, industry, and commerce. In the case of the Petit Palace, it was designed by Charles Girault with the purpose of turn it into an arts museum and a display of decorative arts. The construction of both buildings started in 1897

And were totally completed in 1900. Just in time to be ready for the Exposition Universelle And now we are able to finally see the Grand Palais, as you can notice, is over a major renovation due to the upcoming events, in spite of that, it maintains its glamour and conceived grandeur,
