Promenons-nous aux Champs
Today in Le Monde, an article about the commercial evolution of the Champs-Elysées, from boutiques and luxury hotels, to theaters and nightclubs, to flagship chain stores and mass-luxury (i.e., Louis Vuitton) goods.
Mentioned is the renovation during the late 1990s that replaced the side alleys for cars with wider sidewalks, "returning" the Champs Elysées to strollers. It also mentions the different rents and desirabilities for the "right" side of the street- that is, the south-facing buildings that get more sunlight, versus the Left side, which is shady.
