The word Paris conjures up a splendid image of all that this prestigious neighborhood offers “live”. The Ave. Foch area has the well deserved reputation of being the most expensive residential neighborhood in Paris. Here you can enjoy the numerous gardens, wide boulevards, and famous monuments. The very wide Ave. Foch, lined with large chestnut trees, is one of twelve well known boulevards that converge at Place de Charles de Gaulle and l’Arc de Triomphe. Inside the Arc, erected in 1806, is le Tombeau du Soldat Inconnu and a museum dedicated to the French army. The names of the twelve avenues radiating out from here are named after generals of Napoleon’s army. On the west side of the monument is the large park Bois de Boulogne. With over two thousand acres, it offers Parisians and visitors alike a beautiful setting for walking, biking, horseback riding and playing tennis. Les Jardins de Bagatelle, on the west side of the park, has a wonderful rose garden. There are also two separate horse racing tracks within the park.

On Ave. Champs-Elyeés, which also starts at the Arc de Triomphe, one can enjoy lovely fountains, flowerbeds, paths and pavilions. Near here is the impressive 19th century exhibition hall, Le Grand Palais. Newly restored, it is a large palace combining a classical stone façade with Art Nouveau ironwork and a massive glass roof. Across Avenue Winston Churchill, le Petit Palais houses the city of Paris art collection that includes ancient artifacts, rare manuscripts, and a variety of artworks among which is a collection of the Impressionist paintings. Following Avenue des Champs-Elyeés, there are numerous shops and cafés. Further east are Place de la Concorde, Jardin des Tuileries and Musee du Louvre. At #2 Avenue Gabriel is the stately American Embassy. By crossing the impressive Art Nouveau bridge Pont Alexandre III, you can walk directly to the famous golden domed church that houses Napoleon’s tomb in the Left Bank area of Paris,
