An ideal and popular area for shopping

Avenue de Wagram was opened in 1789 and links Rue de Tilsitt to the famous Place de l’Étoile. It was only in 1864, however, that it became known as Avenue de Wagram. Place Wagram takes its name from the victory at the Battle of Wagram. Nowadays, Avenue de Wagram is one of the busiest shopping streets in Paris and is very popular with tourists and onlookers who like to saunter down the street window shopping. This avenue is often used by tourists heading to Place de l'Étoile.

A district with beautiful architecture

Several addresses on the street have become famous such as: number 29, the former residence of Anne Victorine Savigny, better known as Madame de Thèbes, who became a clairvoyant on the suggestion of Alexandre Dumas, and number 32 where Louis Valtat had his last workshop in 1914. Lovers of architecture will be able to admire the facade of the Céramic Hôtel mansion, which won it the prize for the best facade in 1905. The roof and the front of this building are listed as historic monuments.
