You step onto one of the widest avenues in Europe: broad sidewalks, plane trees shading espresso terraces, and the Arc de Triomphe standing like a watchful monument at the axis of the city. Cars thread the roadway while groups of shoppers and late-afternoon strollers press along the sidewalks; a private guide draws a straight line through centuries of politics, design, and spectacle.
