TEC4594836: Avenue des Champs Elysees, Paris 8th arrondissement. It was Jean Baptiste (Jean-Baptiste) Colbert (1619-1683) who had Andre Le Notre (1613-1700) opened in 1667 an avenue starting from the Tuileries to reach a hill, today called L'Etoile. There's nothing left from that time. Only nineteenth century witnesses remain on the Champs Elysees. Bernard Huet was asked in 1994 to bring back the Champs Elysees in order to restore its prestige to the avenue: the cars were driven from the allees, an underground car park created, the floor covered with grey granite slabs. The promenade aspect was reinforced by the planting of a second row of plane trees and new constraints were defined for signs and display cases. / Bridgeman Images
TEC4569358: The Cathedrale Notre Dame de Reims (Marne, Champagne Ardennes region) has several titles among the places of memory in France. Built on the traditional place of the baptism of Clovis (466-511), it was the seat of the royal sacres; its bombing in 1917, leaving its vaults, made it a symbol of the horrors of the First World War. The verticality of the interior elevation and the perfection of the counterbutting make the largest of the French cathedrals, batie from 1211 to 1275, a perfect expression of classical Gothic. The rich sculpted decor is characterized by the famous smile of Reims and the antique style of some statues. Its treasor, one of the largest and richest in France, is preserved at the Palais du Tau. / Bridgeman Images
