Elysées can end at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées
which has three stages (Le Grand Théâtre, la Comédie,

the Musée Nissim-de-Camondo, which displays an enormous sample
of Decorative Arts from the second half of the 18th century. The
Musée Cernuschi shows you a collection of ancient Chinese
art. And the Musée Jacquemart-André, specialized in
French art from the 18th century, Flemish and Dutch art from the
17th century, and different works of art from the Italian Renaissance
on the 1st floor.

Avenue des Champs Elysées will make you happy with a considerable
number of boutiques. But also the Madeleine neighbourhood, with
its flower market and its innumerable luxury shops, such as the
famous caterer Fauchon.
