Welcome to the Paris of grand ambitions! From the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Concorde, the Champs-Élysées cut a wide swath through the backdrop of the 8th arrondissement. Around them orbit the Grand Palais, the Petit Palais, the Church of the Madeleine, the Parc Monceau, and some of the capital’s most prestigious avenues.
Shopping, exhibitions, architecture and strolls naturally make for a day in Paris 8e. The streets of Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Avenue Montaigne are home to luxury houses, while the Madeleine and Saint-Augustin districts feel busier on weekdays. But haute couture isn't the only one showing off its collections!
Pastry chefs and chocolatiers are also unveiling seasonal creations, shown in display cases that are almost worth a detour in themselves. Macarons, chocolates, viennoiseries, palace-grade pastries, tea rooms or more approachable breaks... The options aren’t limited to the Champs-Élysées!
