Champs-Elysées - Avenue Montaigne

One of the most renowned fashion streets in Paris, Avenue Montaigne branches off the Champs-Elysées at the Rond-Point and runs, straight as a die, to Place de l'Alma on the banks of the Seine. The old mansions in this street are now occupied by the great haute couture houses - Chanel, Nina Ricci, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Valentino, Guy Laroche - whose fashion shows attract wealthy Parisiennes.
