Welcome to the Champs-Elysées where you can see almost everything...and be seen by almost everyone. The shopping arcades (Galerie des Champs, Arcades du Lido, galeries Elysees - La Boetie and galerie Point-Show) are reminiscent of Alice's Wonderland, albeit a rather expensive one. For those with a smaller budget, there is also NafNaf, Zara and Gap (the largest in Europe no less). Large cinemas, airline offices, expensive slightly old-fashioned shopping arcades and high street fashion characterise an avenue that has lost some of its grandeur to commercial enterprise. For musicians, the nearby Rome Street has plenty of instruments and sheet music. Not the best shopping street in Paris, but a must all the same.
Suggestions: Séphora, the most beautiful perfume shop in Paris; Androuet, a paradise for cheese connoisseurs; the Disney Store, for all ages.
