Paris has several prominent hills, of which the highest is Montmartre at 130 metres (427 feet).
The river Seine divided Paris in two parts, the Rive Droite (right bank) in the northern part and the Rive Gauche (left bank) in the southern part. The river Seine is a major river and commercial waterway in the regions of Īle-de-France and Haute-Normandie. It rise in eastern France near the Swiss Alps and flows through Paris and into the English Channel at Le Havre. Paris is situated in the north-bending arc of river Seine and includes two islands, the Īle Saint-Louis and the larger Īle de la Cité with the Cathedral Notre Dame de Paris and forms the oldest part of the city.

Further to the west, the avenue is lined with cinemas, cafés and restaurants (most notably Fouquet's), and luxury specialty shops.
