Avenue Montaigne, connecting the Champs-Elysées to the Alma Bridge, is known as one of the most exclusive and luxurious arteries in the capital. The major haute-couture brands have chosen home, such as Chanel, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chloé, Céline, Thierry Mugler, Saint Laurent Paris, Prada, Gucci and many more. There are guards inside by the doors of each of these places. It's hard to imagine what the total wealth of all these companies is when added up. Anyway, I've never been into designer things, but it is impressive nonetheless.
