\nVideo Tour of the Champs \u00c9lys\u00e9es in Paris – Part 2 (5:12)<\/p>\n

In the first part, we looked at the History of Champs-Elys\u00e9es, the Place de la Concorde, the Grand and Petit Palais, some notable statues and the glitz and glamour of Avenue Montaigne.\u00a0 If you missed part 1, here’s the link: Video Tour of the Champs-Elys\u00e9es, Paris<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Located on the right bank of Paris<\/a> and in the 8th arrondissement, the Champ Elys\u00e9es stretches from beautiful Place de la Concorde, in front of the Hotel Crillon and the Tuileries Gardens, to the Seine\u2019s riverbank towards the Arc de Triomphe. Bordered to the north by the presidential Palais de l\u2019Elys\u00e9e and to the south by Grand Palais and Petit Palais, the Champs-Elys\u00e9es is also where one of the most expensive streets of Paris, l\u2019Avenue Montaigne, begins.<\/p>\n

Palais de l\u2019Elys\u00e9es and Theaters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many come to Paris for its various forms of entertainment. If Parisians are good at this, it\u2019s because they started this tradition with the building of several operas & theaters early in the 19th century, especially with the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre des Champs-Elys\u00e9es (15 Avenue Montaigne) and the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Rond-Point (2 Bis Avenue Franklin Delano Roosevelt). Close to these mythical theaters is the Palais de l\u2019Elys\u00e9e (55 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honor\u00e9), official residence of the President of France and the first lady. If you get close enough to the Palace, don\u2019t miss the rooster on the front door, an old symbol Napoleon tried to change to an eagle, without success!<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Arc\n\t
Arc de Triomphe in Paris<\/div>\n<\/div>L\u2019Arc de Triomphe<\/strong><\/p>\n

On top of l\u2019Arc de Triomphe, which is about 50 meters tall, is one of the best views of the Champs-Elys\u00e9es. Commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 but not finished until 1836, this triumphal arch is one of Paris\u2019 best-known monuments. It\u2019s also right in the center of one of the city\u2019s busiest traffic circles, l\u2019Etoile so if you decide to drive through it, it is at your own risk!<\/p>\n

Accommodations in the 8th arrondissement<\/a>, near the Champs-Elys\u00e9es<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best way to experience Paris is to skip the hotel room and stay in a Paris apartment<\/a>. Instead, rent one of the many Paris vacation rentals<\/a> that New York Habitat has to offer.\u00a0 New York Habitat offers both short and long term furnished rentals all over Paris. Some top choices in the area of Champs-Elys\u00e9es include:<\/p>\n

This furnished studio apartment near the Champ Elys\u00e9es (PA-3576)<\/a>. This apartment includes the convenience of a washer and dryer. The floors are wooden and the fully equipped kitchen has a bar\/counter area with seating for 2.<\/p>\n

Another choice is this furnished 1-bedroom apartment near the Champs-Elys\u00e9es (PA-2966) <\/a>.

Restaurants and Night Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you need a break from the excitement of the Champs-Elys\u00e9es, you can stop at Ladur\u00e9e to enjoy their famous macaroons with a cup of tea. For something traditionally French try some crepes at the Les Ecuries la Creperie des Champs Elysees. If their creamy Parisian pastries or crepes aren\u2019t for you, then you may want to grab a drink at one of the neighborhood\u2019s classic cafes including Fouquet\u2019s, The Deauville or\u00a0 the Renault shop & caf\u00e9. .<\/p>\n

After finishing up with the day time activities, check out the night life.\u00a0 If you want to dance move to the classic & always fun Le R\u00e9gine (51 Rue de Ponthieu) or join the worldwide famous Queen (102 Avenue des Champs-Elys\u00e9es), the clubs get started around 2 or 3 in the morning and don\u2019t stop until dawn!
\nBest view of the Eiffel Tower… from the Metro!! <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\"Paris<\/a>\n\t
Paris Apartment 1-bedroom in Porte Maillot, Paris (PA-2966)<\/div>\n<\/div>Want to have a great view of the Eiffel Tower? Once you’ve toured the Arc of Triumph and are ready to move on to other parts of Paris, drop down into the Charles de Gaulle Etoile metro station and take the light green 6 line, towards Nation.\u00a0 After you stop at the station called “Passy”, stay on the train, but get your camera ready, because the train will take you across a bridge over the Seine and you’ll get a unique view of the Eiffel Tower from the train.\u00a0 Once on the other side of the bridge, get off at Bir-Hakeim station and follow the crowds to the foot of the Eiffel tower, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris<\/a>.<\/p>\n
