The illustrious Champs-Élysées measuring in 1.9 kilometers (1.2 mi) long and 70 meters (230 ft) wide avenue between the Place de la Concord and Place Charles de Gualle has been one of Paris’ main tourist attractions known for the luxury shops, chic cafes, and the finish line for the Tour du France. Originally laid out by Andre Le Notre in 1667 it became the space for the Paris International Exposition of 1855. This parc was set to be an innovator as the first park to have sanitary public toilets. But unlike the other major gardens in the city the jardin du Champs-Élysées has a secret garden not many know about. Located off the beaten path and down a rabbit hole, one can find calm serenity in the Vallée Suisse or Swiss Valley which holds a stream that leads to an ethereal weeping willow and a number of other distinguished exotic trees.
