Paris, July-1-2009
“We are often looking for ways to make Champs Elysees the most accessible as possible to visitors and we hope the virtual experience will heighten their enjoyment making it more personal and even closer to reality.
Our virtual visit provides impressions and emotions that would just not be possible with a 3D medium like 3D virtual representation of famous cultural places, where web surfers are most of times passive and where you need to install plug ins. ChampsElysees.org through its «365° Visit» offers a new dimension to the online experience:
A True and Real virtual visit immediately viewable on all computers.
We are proud of this innovative effort to extend the Champs Elysees experience to new and more diverse audiences. This is just the beginning of an open and widely accessible realistic Champs Elysees online, where you will be able to virtually «365°» visit any shop, restaurant, theater, show-room...”

Going for a walk: You just need to click on the arrow on the right corner, on the bottom of the screen, and your mouse allows the discovery of Champs Elysees’ Universe. You can go forwards, backwards, look around and discover the avenue under unique angles. Pictures are really taken under a pedestrian point of view, to create a feeling of reality. Offering an unique exploration, or the most highly imaginable detailed visualization of Champs Elysees.
“365° Visit” enables people viewing restaurants, shops, theaters, planning their trip to Champs Elysees or just discovering “The Most Beautiful Avenue of the World” from their sofas.
