The celebrated grand boulevard of Paris. The Arch de Triomphe at one end (approaching 200 years of age), and an obelisk from Luxor (3200 years old) at the other, and your wallet will also age appropriately in between.
Every brand that’s a brand is represented. We suggest you start at the obelisk end and if you get to the other end without spending a dollar (or euro) you can proudly march through the arch.
We walked the length and breadth of the great avenue – and I do admit it was fun because I enjoy people watching. I would probably go back just to see the Arch de Triomphe without scaffolding – I’m sure they have to take it down one day.

The Notre-Dame Cathedral in the centre of Bayeux was built in 1077 and was the original home of the Bayeux Tapestry. It is known as Cathedral of Our Lady of Bayeux.
Bayeux is a picturesque medieval village in Western France, largely unscared by past conflicts, but with a unique connection to the past.
A great stop-off point on the way to Daylesford in Victoria’s mineral springs area.
Relax by the cozy fire, have a ride on a tourist train, visit a gold mine, wander through the historic cemetery – it’s a great weekend away in Walhalla.
