Morning
The Champs-Elysées (see Avenue des Champs-Elysées) is an area for leisurely strolls. Begin by window-shopping along one side of the avenue Montaigne, where Prada, Nina Ricci, Dior and many more have their flagship stores – the area oozes money. Have a break in the Bar des Théâtres, where fashion names and the theatre crowd from the Comédie des ChampsÉlysées across the street sometimes hang out (6 ave Montaigne 01 47 23 34 63).
Return up the other side of avenue Montaigne to the Champs-Elysées, for the stroll to the Arc de Triomphe. This is where the “real world” shops, at more affordable prices. Break for lunch at Spoon, Food and Wine , but get there early to get a table.
Afternoon
Continuing up the Champs-Elysées, look past the car showrooms and fast food outlets to note the many interesting buildings which house them.
Take the underpass to the Arc de Triomphe and climb to the top for the views. Walk or take the metro to the rue du Faubourg-St-Honoré, where more designer shops.
For tea and cakes, Ladurée is a must on the Champs-Elysées, with its heart-warming macar- oons and syrupy hot choc- olate (75 ave des Champs-Elysées. 01 40 75 08 75)
