Rethinking Paris's most famous avenue, les Champs-Élysées

It may be called the most beautiful avenue in the world, but these days Parisians tend to steer clear of les Champs-Élysées. With another famed cinema – the UGC Normandie – having now closed its doors, we look at how the Champs came to be, what it is now, and why many want to change it drastically.

This Entre Nous aired on Paris Direct, June 14, 2024. A programme produced by Amanda Alexander, Marina Pajovic and Georgina Robertson.
