Champs Elysees/Trocadero/Arc de Triomphe The Triumphal Way stretches from the Louvre to La Defense, and its very grandeur is evoked all along the famed Champs Elysees. The street is home to historical masterpieces as the Arc de Triomphe, the Elysee Palace, and the Grand et Petit Palais. Of course it also houses the modern sites such as the Virgin Megastore, theatres, cabaret, and restaurants. This avenue is the heart of the city: on Bastille day parades take place, the Tour de France finishes here, and the Liberation of Paris during WWII was celebrated here... From the avenue at the Rond Point, a visit to the Avenue Montaigne with its Haute Couture houses including Chanel, Christian Dior, Guy Laroche, and Ungaro is worthwhile. Trocadero is close to the Eiffel Tower and on a line from the Arc de Triomphe, this area has the museums of the Palais de Chaillot and the Musee of Art Moderne which are a very worthwhile and complete visit. Trocadero is in the 16th district which is considered well to do, but is a very nice area to visit. The 17th district is just as exclusive, it is quiet but peaceful. Sites to See: Arc de Triomphe, Grand Palais, Petit Palais, Palais de la Decouverte, Place de la Concorde, Obelisk, Palais de Chaillot, Parc Monceau, Palais des Congres and the Eiffel Tower !
