Élysée City Breaks

Home to the world's most beautiful avenue

Élysée is the perfect example of Parisian grandeur. This chic area, named after its famous tree-lined avenue, is bursting with designer boutiques, world-class entertainment venues, and Michelin-starred restaurants. It’s also home to some of Paris’s most iconic landmarks. 

The highlight of Élysée is taking a walk down what has become known as ‘the most beautiful avenue in the world’. Running nearly two kilometres between the 3000-year-old Obelisk of Luxor and the impressive neoclassical Arc de Triomphe, there’s lots to see along the way.

Beyond the avenue, Élysée is a popular, tourist-friendly area that makes an excellent base for exploring Paris's best bits. There’s a huge choice of luxurious Élysée hotels and excellent public transport. Best of all, you’re right in the heart of all the city centre action. 

This sophisticated part of Paris borders the River Seine, so sunset strolls along the riverfront are a must. And be sure to leave time in your busy schedule to sample the local macarons and brioches.
