Paris, Paris, Combien

The most beautiful avenue in the world

The Avenue de Champs-Élysées is one of the most famous streets in the world. It is the most expensive strip of real estate in Europe.

In France it is also known as "La plus belle avenue du monde" ('The most beautiful avenue in the world').

In this 'most beautiful avenue worldwide', where a single meal for one person might cost as high as 400 to 500 €, beggars jostle for space amongst uber-rich shoppers, and genuflect all day to meet their monthly expenses of 400 to 500 €.

Les ponts sur la rivière Siene

(The Bridges over the river Siene)

Any Parisian can spend hours proudly detailing the intricate designs on the different Parisian bridges over the river Siene. 

Siene - What a Scene

The Christmas Mass at Notre Dame

BTW, notice the 'trendy' serge de Nimes and Converse All Star of the modern day priest. And only one generation ago, blue jeans were associated with the idea of rebellion and non-conformity.
