The Champs-Elysées is undoubtedly the most famous street in Paris and the quarter which lies around it is brimming with wealth and power. It is home to the president of France, great haute couture fashion houses, embassies and consulates, and the five-star hotels and fine restaurants frequented by the French and foreign élite. The Champs-Elysées itself runs from the place de la Concorde to the place Charles de Gaulle, which is known as L’toile (the star) because of the 12 busy avenues that radiate out from it. It is the most stately stretch of the so-called Triumphal Way, built by Napoleon, where Parisians celebrate national events with parades or mourn at the funeral cortèges of the great and good.

A swanky bar/ restaurant come nightclub. The original Mahiki and one which has a worldwide following of its music.

Les saveurs de Flora is owned and cheffed by Alain Passard-trained Flora Mikula. This pink frilly gem was located on George V in the 1st arr.
She clearly embraces and celebrates her femininity with over the top pink, flowers, butterflies, mirrors and crystal. It is like stepping into a very chic dollhouse.
The three course menu for 36 euros is a great chance to try some of (in my opinion) the best food in Paris.
