Just a random detail, for people who wouldn't know but be curious...

That's where EMArg found the Argentine line 1 subway station, which is quite a comfortable area. Most people have to really be better off to live there.
This view of La Défense and its Grande Arche in a distance isn't available from the Champs-Élysées proper. Again, you have to go to the other side of the older arch to get there, which is only a matter of minutes by cycling anyway.
