Avenue Champs-Elysees

It seems to me that there is no need to elaborate on the description of this avenue. It is the beating heart of Paris, where you can find clothes worth thousand euros, food, but also the Arc de Triomph on one end and Louvre on the other.

One for Boys, One for Girls...


Chocolat, Chocolat, Chocolat...




I know that I will be going of the sequence (I mean the Paris sequence here) but I thought that I would have to share my photos with all the chocolate lovers! With our class, we went to visit a Chocolatier (the one who makes chocolate) and believe me, it was unbelievable! Above is the process, below the results.

La Defense

La Défense is a major business district for the city of Paris. The district is at the westernmost extremity of Paris' 10-km long Historical Axis, which starts at the Louvre in Central Paris and continues along the Champs-Élysées, well beyond the Arc de Triomphe before culminating at La Défense.
Around its 100-metre (330 ft)-high Grande Arche and esplanade ("le Parvis"), the district holds many of the Paris urban area's tallest high-rises. With its 77.5 acres, its 72 glass-and-steel slick buildings including 14 high-rises above 150 metres (490 ft), its 150,000 daily workers and 3.5 million square metres (37.7 million sq ft) of office space, La Défense is one of Europe's largest Business Districts.

Montmartre

Montmartre is a hill which is 130 metres high, and also the name of the surrounding district, in the north of Paris. It is primarily known for the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré Cœur on its summit. The other, older, church on the hill is Saint Pierre de Montmartre, which claims to be the location at which the Jesuit order of priests was founded. Many artists had studios or worked around the community of Montmartre such as Salvador Dalí, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh.
