We will be at the highest point of the avenue, where the Arc de Triomphe stands, symbol of the military glories of France. Our local Paris guides know every detail hidden in the monument: where it was originally supposed to be, how it passed underneath the Napoleon Bonaparte Arch, what do the names carved on its walls mean?
We will take you through one of the most luxurious neighborhoods of Paris, combining history with fashion. Paris is one of the most important capitals when it comes to Haute Couture. So we will take the opportunity to walk through the ostentatious neighborhoods where we will live in person the history of Louis Vuitton and other popular brands.
