The Best Attractions In Ecuires

Paris, France - Video Tour of the Champs Elysées (Part 2)

Welcome to the second part of our visit of the Champs-Elysées in Paris. In the 2nd installment of our video tour of the Champs-Elysées by New York Habitat ( ) we will check out the Arc de Triomphe, local restaurants and nightlife spots.

In the first part, we looked at the History of Champs-Elysées, the Place de la Concorde, the Grand and Petit Palais, some notable statues and the glitz and glamour of Avenue Montaigne. If you missed part 1, here's the link:

Located on the right bank of Paris, the Champ Elysées stretches from beautiful Place de la Concorde, in front of the Hotel Crillon and the Tuileries Gardens, to the Seine's riverbank towards the Arc de Triomphe. Bordered to the north by the presidential Palais de l'Elysée and to the south by Grand Palais and Petit Palais, the Champs-Elysées is also where one of the most expensive streets of Paris, l'Avenue Montaigne, begins.

Palais de l'Elysées and Theaters

Many come to Paris for its various forms of entertainment. If Parisians are good at this, it's because they started this tradition with the building of several operas & theaters early in the 19th century, especially with the Théâter des Champs-Elysées and the Théâtre du Rond-Point. Close to these mythical theaters is the Palais de l'Elysée, official residence of the President of France and the first lady. If you get close enough to the Palace, don't miss the rooster on the front door, an old symbol Napoleon tried to change to an eagle, without success!

L'Arc de Triomphe

On top of l'Arc de Triomphe, which is about 50 meters tall, is one of the best views of the Champs-Elysées. Commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 but not finished until 1836, this triumphal arch is one of Paris' best-known monuments. It's also right in the center of one of the city's busiest traffic circles, l'Etoile so if you decide to drive through it, it is at your own risk!

Accommodations near the Champs-Elysées

The best way to experience Paris is to skip the hotel room and stay in a Parisian apartment. Instead, rent one of the many Paris vacation rentals that New York Habitat has to offer. New York Habitat offers Vacation rentals all over Paris. Some top choices in the area of Champs-Elysées include:

This vacation rental near the Champ Elysées (PA-3576 ) Elysées. This accommodation 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.

Thisapartment also includes the luxury of a washer and dryer, plus a dishwasher to make cleaning up after your home-cooked meals easier.

Restaurants and Night Life

If you need a break from the excitement of the Champs-Elysées, you can stop at Ladurée 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 Eylsees. If their creamy Parisian pastries or crepes aren't for you, then you may want to grab a drink at one of the neighborhood's classic cafes including Fouquet's, The Deauville or the Renault shop & café. .

After finishing up with the day time activities, check out the night life. If you want to dance move to the classic & always fun Le Régine or join the worldwide famous Queen.

THE CHATEAU DE CHANTILLY IS A HISTORIC CHATEAU LOCATED IN THE TOWN OF CHANTILLY FRANCE.

The Château de Chantilly is a historic château located in the town of Chantilly, France. It comprises two attached buildings; the Grand Château, destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s, and the Petit Château which was built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency. Owned by the Institut de France, the château houses the Musée Condé, which is one of the finest art galleries in France and is open to the public.
The estate's connection with the Montmorency family began in 1484. The first mansion (no longer extant, now replaced by the Grand Château) was built in 1528--1531 for the Constable Anne de Montmorency by Pierre Chambiges. The Petit Château was also built for him, around 1560, probably by Jean Bullant. In 1632, after the death of Henri II, it passed to the Grand Condé who inherited it through his mother, a Montmorency.
Several interesting pieces of history are associated with the château during the 17th century. Molière's play, Les Précieuses ridicules, received its first performance here in 1659. Madame de Sévigné relates in her memoirs that when Louis XIV visited in 1671, François Vatel, the maître d'hôtel to the Grand Condé, committed suicide when he feared the fish would be served late.
The original mansion was destroyed in the French Revolution. It was repaired in a modest way by the last Condé, but the entire property was confiscated from the Orléans family between the years 1853 and 1872, during which interval it was owned by Coutts, an English bank. Chantilly was entirely rebuilt in 1875--1881 by Henri d'Orléans, duc d'Aumale (1822--1897) to the designs of Honore Daumet. The new château met with mixed reviews. Boni de Castellane summed up one line of thought: What is today styled a marvel is one of the saddest specimens of the architecture of our era — one enters at the second floor and descends to the salons. In the end, the Duc d'Aumale bequeathed the property to the Institut de France upon his death in 1897.

The elegant old town of Chantilly, 50km north of Paris, is small and select. Its imposing, heavily restored château is surrounded by parkland, gardens and the Forêt de Chantilly, offering a wealth of walking opportunities. Chantilly's racetrack is one of the most prestigious hat-and-frock addresses in Europe, and that deliciously sweetened thick crème called Chantilly was created here.
