Lit up Avenue

The traditional lightening up of the Champs Elysees happened last week end and will last until the beginning of next year.  It was proudly announced that because of LED bulbs the electric energy was now only 38 000 kWh instead of the 480 000 kWh with the old fashion bulbs they had used until 2006. One million euros were invested to install all the lights along the trees of the avenue and at the Rond Point area.  The festive mood will be enjoyed by more then a million revelers!

French visitors will make a point to visit and from all over the world tourists will arrive to walk up and down 'la plus belle avenue du monde'.

And many more will not walk but drive slowly up and down and add to the illumination.
