From the Champs-Élysées to La Défense

From the Champs-Élysées, the view extends directly to the Arc de Triomphe, one of Paris's most famous monuments. In the distance, the modern skyscrapers of La Défense and the Grande Arche seamlessly connect to the city's historic axis. The wide boulevard, busy traffic, and rows of plane trees highlight the contrast between classical and modern Paris.
