On the program of the visit:

Figures & Exceptional Residents:

Walk in the footsteps of the great personalities of the avenue: from the Countess of Castiglione (lover of Napoleon III) to Ferdinand de Lesseps and his Moorish Pavilion, passing by the pioneers of physical culture at the Triat Gymnasium or the regulars of the mythical Bal Mabille.

Pioneers of Fashion & Creation:

Discover the cradle of haute couture, immortalized by the mosaics on the pavement paying tribute to Jeanne Paquin, Paul Poiret, Madeleine Vionnet and the Callot Sisters, long before the arrival of Christian Dior at 30.

Architectural Gems & Private Hotels:

Observe the urban transformation of the artery: from the sumptuous Hôtel Porgès and the curious Maison Pompéienne to the daring Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, an Art Deco masterpiece in reinforced concrete by Perret and Bourdelle.
