What real Parisian anglophones call what the
French consider to be the World's Most Beautiful Avenue, otherwise known as "Les Champs Elysees".
The Champs a Sleazy is a place tourists never want to miss when they visit
Paris because it seems to represent everything that's really
French. It's crowded and
dirty. There are expensive shops everywhere that no one can afford, mysterious offices and apartments that only sex fiends would live in, fast
food restaurants of all descriptions and most unknown to Americans, you can't heard yourself speak, it's sometimes fatally dangerous, and it leads from the monument to Napoleon,
France's greatest and of course ultimately defeated dictator, to the even more ignominous Place de la Concorde, which of course has seen some of the most repugnant bloodshed in history, notably the regicidal beheadings of Louis the XVI, Marie-Antoinette and countless other victims.
"Thank
God for the Champs a Sleazy. If it weren't there,
Paris would be even more unlivable!"
"I wanna go to the Champs a Sleazy and jam scam some
Russian tourist girls."
