Let Guitry take you down cause he's going to...Elysées Fields .

The footnotes of history on the Champs D'Elysée ,as viewed by Guitry:It all began under Marie De Medicis's regency when Concini (a nasty Italian:why do French always choose treacherous aliens to rule ?)was the real master:Les Champs Elysees were then just a large path through the wood .Later on ,a two-bit fortune teller told king Louis the Fifteenth he would die six months after the marquis De Chauvelin ; so the monarch sent all his sawbones to the noble man to take care of his health ;he put him on a diet because "if you die,my own days will be numbered".—dbdumonteil
