8th arrondissement of Paris

This chic neighborhood is defined by the broad Avenue des Champs Elysées, which links the iconic Arc de Triomphe and the chaotic traffic circle of Place de la Concorde. Upscale retail shops and shiny office fronts fill the area, along with a mixed crowd of fashionistas, tourists and local workers. The district is also home to art museums, including the Grand Palais with its high-profile exhibitions.
