This place is a Attraction. It was established in 1785.
The Jardins des Champs-Élysées are a historic public garden complex in Paris’s 8th arrondissement. Classified as historic gardens since 1910, the site consists of twelve squares or gardens bordered by tree-lined promenades. It occupies the area around the Champs-Élysées avenue, creating a landscaped sequence between major Parisian monuments and cultural venues. The gardens’ origins are linked to the avenue’s 17th-century development. In 1667, Louis XIV commissioned a route aligned with the central axis of the Tuileries Garden, and André Le Nôtre planted rows of trees along it. The present garden configuration was shaped mainly during the 19th century and for the 1900 Exposition Universelle. From 1859, Adolphe Alphand directed the landscaping, working with landscape gardener Jean-Pierre Barillet-Deschamps and architect Gabriel Davioud. The garden squares contain shaded paths, fountains, sculptures and historic buildings. Notable sections include the Jardin de la Nouvelle France, Jardin Marigny, Jardin Clemenceau, square Jean-Perrin and square de Berlin. Visitors can enter from Cours-la-Reine, Avenue Franklin-D.-Roosevelt, Avenue Matignon and Avenue Gabriel. The gardens provide a public walking route beside the Grand Palais, Petit Palais and other landmarks.
