Americans have always been struck by the ability of Parisians to simply sit and gaze upon the passing world.

What is worse, it is contagious.

120 Avenue des Champs Elysees: James Gordon Bennett, the millionaire newspaper owner, moved to France in 1877 and ten years later launched the Paris Herald. This newspaper brought American printing methods to Europe.

133 Avenue des Champs Elysees: Site of the hotel Astoria. Soprano Grace Moore took an apartment in this building in the summer of 1929. Aged 31, she had made her debut at the Metropolitain Opera the previous year as “Mimi” in La bohème. In Paris, she made her debut at the Opéra Comique in the same role.

In 1951, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, had headquarters on the top floor.
