Story:
After a day of meetings in Paris, I went for a walk through the heart of the city.

I started at the Louvre, walked West to the Place de la Concorde, then I followed the Champs-Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe.  I then took the subway to La Tour Eiffel.

I walked by Equestrian statue of Jeanne d'Arc, Hotel De Crillon, Obélisque de Louxor, L'église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, Virgin Megastore (!), UGC Champs-Elysees Movie Theatre, and the Tour Eiffel ice skating rink.

It was a cold, clear evening.  The lights were beautiful and the walk was memorable!

At the UGC Movie Theatre, the premiere of the movie Bandidas, staring Penelope Cruz and  Selma Hayak, was a live event that I stumbled onto.  The photo press and fans were making the Champs-Elysees a very exciting place!
Tips:
Paris is beautiful at night.  Allow more time to enjoy.  My time was much too short!!
