    "Al hablar de los Campos Elíseos de Paris, estamos hablando de la que es probablemente la Avenida más famosa del mundo, célebre para los amantes del deporte por ser el lugar donde finaliza año tras año el Tour de Francia, punto de referencia de los amantes de la moda al albergar a las principales firmas de moda, y sin lugar a dudas modelo de calle llena de vida y llena de gente tanto de día como de noche. Los Campos Elíseos comienzan al oeste de la Plaza de la Concordia, donde tras atravesar un pequeño parque nos encontramos con los primeros números de esta singular avenida, avenida que finaliza con el impresionante y robusto Arco de Triunfo, teniendo su prolongación en la Avenida de la Gran Armada (a cuyo fin en Porte Mallot encontramos el Palacio de Congresos de París) primero, y la Avenida Charles de Gaulle después, y si seguimos hacia La Defensa en línea recta llegaremos hasta el Gran Arco de la Defensa, un enorme Arco moderno cuya alineación con el Arco de Triunfo simboliza la unión del viejo y clásico París con el moderno París de las finanzas, con sede en La Defensa. Campos Eliseos Paris Por el día Los Campos Eliseos son un hervidero de gente que va/viene a/de trabajar, a hacer compras o simplemente a tomar algo en cualquiera de sus bares y terrazas (siempre orientadas hacia la calle para ver la gente pasar), pero por la noche los Campos Elíseos no duermen, ya que tanto en la avenida misma como en las calles adyacentes existen un buen número de bares y discotecas que hacen las delicias de los amantes de la fiesta hasta altas horas de la madrugada.

  • Napoléon's Triumphal Arch The arch was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 to commemorate his victories, but he was ousted before the arch was completed. In fact, it wasn't completed until 1836 during the reign of Louis-Philippe. The Arc de Triomphe is engraved with names of generals who commanded French troops during Napoleon's regime. Design The design of the arch by Jean Chalgrin is based on the Arch of Titus in Rome. The Arc de Triomphe is much higher (50m versus 15m), but it has exactly the same proportions. The triumphal arch is adorned Detail of the Marseillaise Relief with many reliefs, most of them commemorating the emperor's battles. Among them are the battle of Aboukir, Napoleons victory over the Turkish and the Battle of Austerliz, where Napoleon defeated the Austrians.The best known relief is the Departure of the Volunteers in 1792, also known as the Marseillaise. At the top of the arch are 30 shields, each of them bears the name of one of Napoleon's successful battles. The arch also includes the Grave of the Unknown Soldiers from the first World War. Place Charles de Gaulle The arch is located at the end of the Champs-Elysées, in the middle of the Place Charles de Gaulle, a large circular square from which no less than 12 streets emanate. The streets are named after French military leaders. Observatory View from Arc de TriompheThe top of the arch features a viewing platform from where you have great views of La Defense, the Champs-Elysées and the Sacré-Coeur. Make sure you take one of the underpasses to the arch, it is too dangerous to try and cross the street. There is no elevator in the arch, so be prepared to walk up 234 steps.
