http://www.parismont.com/107/champs-elysees The Paris tourist attractions that aren't worth a visit Sat, 10 May 2008 02:32:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.2 http://www.parismont.com/107/champs-elysees#comment-6345 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 22:38:01 +0000 http://www.parismont.com/107/champs-elysees#comment-6345 We just got back from our European vacation. We stayed at this area which was very convenient to everything. Although we thought it was very expensive, especially the meals, I wouldn't necessarily suggest to skip it. In fact, my husband and I walked down this avenue (Champs Elysees) and as we got down the street we decided to cross the street. We got stuck in the middle of the road by a red light as we were crossing. When I turned around, I saw the most memoriable view of the Arc of Triomphe just as pictured on my book I bought about Paris prior to the trip. It was a picture perfect view. Also, if you're a Louis Vuitton fanatic, in which I am, you won't want to miss seeing the biggest LV store in which I was told is the corporate building. We just got back from our European vacation.

I didn't really enjoy it, it wasted my time, but, it did lead us to the Tuileries...we were walking a circuitous route, otherwise we never would have gone there. Everything is priced higher to nail the tourists, the pick pockets abound..and it's traffic addled. I agree with the site author, skip it.
