Known in France as "la plus belle avenue du monde", the Avenue des Champs-Elysées in the heart of Paris is indeed one of planet's most famous, expensive and lovely streets. Capped at one end by the iconic Arc de Triomphe, its 2km length is lined with high-class speciality shops, cafes, neatly snipped chestnut trees, parks and flowerbeds. The City of Paris is so keen to avoid "banalisation" and maintain the avenue's character that it has even blocked several international chains from opening branches here.
