Les Champs-Élysées in À Bout De Souffle

Here we go again. I'm watching  A Bout De Souffle for the 100th time. I still can't get enough of Jean Seberg walking up and down Les Champs Elysees screaming "New York Harold Tribune" and asking what "Les Champs" means with her thick american accent while Martial Solal's music plays in the background. Both her and Belmondo are quite perfect! They are so revolutionary for their times; so unapologetic and bold. I love watching Paris, its streets, and interiors filmed by Goddard. But as much as I love the majestic dimensions and stunning architecture of Les Champs Elysees - it's not where you want to be while in Paris. It may be the most famous street in Paris, but really it's such a touristy spot. I would only go there for specific things, like going to the Virgin Mega Store, going to La Duree for macaroons, L'Atelier Guerlain, or passing by while on my way to somewhere else; like Avenue Montaigne or rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré . Of course, if you are visiting Paris for the first, or second time, you may want to check it out, especially the view from the middle of Les Champs. The Obelisque looks insanely beautiful, and so does l'Arc de Triopmhe. But that's that!
