The Champs-Elysees was initially fields and market gardens, until 1616, when Marie de Medici decided to expand the garden axis of the Palais des Tuileries by means of an avenue of trees.

Guillaume de L’Isle’s map of The french capital shows that a short stretch of roads and fields in addition to market garden plots still separated the imposing axe of the Tuileries gardens from the planted “Avenue des Tuilleries” as late as 1716.
By the late 1700s, the Champs-Elysees had become a fashionable avenue and the plants on either side had thickened enough to be given formal rectangular glades, identified as cabinets de verdure. The gardens of homes built along the Faubourg St-Honore backed onto the formal bosquets, with the grandest of them all being the Élysees Palace.
A semi-circle of house fronts nowadays defined the north side of the Rond Point.
Queen Marie Antoinette drove with her friends and took music lessons at the Grand Hotel de Crillon on the Place Louis XV. The avenue from the Rond Point in the direction of the Etoile was built up during the Empire. To visit this wonderful place you can take an appartement montmartre
In 1828, the Boulevard des Champs-Elysees became city property, and footpaths, fountains and gas lighting had been added.

Over the time, the avenue has undergone numerous transitions, the majority recently in 1994, when the sidewalks had been widened.
Because of its dimension and proximity to several Paris monuments such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Elysees has been made the place of several historic military parades, the most famous of which were the march of German troops celebrating the Fall of France on fourteen June 1940 and the subsequent entry of free French and American armed forces into the capital after its liberation on twenty five August 1944.
On Bastille Day, every year the principal military parade in Europe passes along the Champs-Élysees, reviewed by the President of the Republic. To go in Paris you can book your location appartement montmartre
