I'm hoping someone can clarify this for me. We hired a driver in Paris. He gave us a great tour. He said that there were 22 avenues leading into Champ Elysees. He made mentioned that all the strees were tree lined and the avenues are not, except for one avenue. I was trying to update my journal and was hoping someone has knowledge of this. Thank you

Denise,, I am unsure of how many avenues or streets lead on the Champs Elysees, but, I know there are only twelve avenues that lead up to the Arc D'Triomphe,, you can clearly see that from the top, and its common knowledge.. the Champs is one avenue,, so as many intersections as there are can lead on to it, but if you are talking about the actual circle around the Arc,, its twelve avenues.

It sounds like jumbled/reversed facts. The Champs is less than a mile and a half long and runs only from Concorde to Etoile. There's no way twenty-two avenues intersect it. I have no idea if there are twenty-two intersections, let alone that number of separately named roadways that intersect. The trees business seems reversed. Every avenue I can picture is tree-lined, but I don't think any of the rues are.

For the most part, Avenues are tree lined and the streets (rues) are not. I can't say for sure if there are exceptions. The Champs Elysees has 19 distinct Avenues that intersect it. That does not count Ave FDR twice (its the only one that crosses both sides). It does not count Ave. Eisenhower, which comes close but may not technically intersect it. There are many other streets that interesct it.
