Pedestrian since 1984, La rue Cler is one of the last authentic market streets of the capital. Along with the local butchers, greengrocers, wine dealers, cheese makers and flower shops, the outdoor auctions and street musicians fill the air with a sense of pure Parisian ambiance. Away from the large boulevards, the charm of the cobblestone street guides the strollers to the neighborhood monuments : the Eiffel Tower, Invalides, Champs Elysées and Arc de Triomphe are just minutes away. The daily turmoil slowly fades to reveal the tranquillity and calm of the evening. In this sought-after ambiance of the Parisian charm, the Grand Hotel Leveque welcomes you and wishes you a conformable stay. |

The rest of the avenue mainly features overpriced shops and restaurants - with a few exceptions in the side streets. Walk to the Arch of Triumph, at the top of the avenue, and visit the 50-meter high structure built to commemorate Napoleon's victories. Admission is about EUR 6, and free for children under 12. Opening hours: 9:30AM-11:00PM daily from April to October, and 10:00AM-11:00PM daily from Nov-March.
