“The “most beautiful avenue in the world” has thus been able to make room for culture and education, alongside the parade of the armies and those of the great fashion designers, between the Tour de France and Christmas Lights, among the digital, sport or fashion brands, with its museums, theaters and cinemas, thanks to this beautiful tribute paid to all those who, teachers and professors of the Republic, everywhere in France, learn French, its rigour, its freedom and its uses, to young schoolchildren“, rejoiced Marc-Antoine Jamet, president of the Champs-Élysées Committee.
