香榭丽舍大街是法国首都巴黎的一条大道，它因电影院、咖啡厅、豪华的专卖店和七叶树而成为最有名气的大街，以及全世界房产最贵的地带。香榭丽舍大街是巴黎主要的旅游景点之一，它的前半段被绿地和马里尼剧院及巴黎大皇宫等建筑包围着。香榭丽舍宫稍稍向北倾斜，但它自身不在大街上。这道街上还有几座法国著名纪念碑，其中包括凯旋门与协和广场。香榭丽舍的法语名字原意是希腊神话中圣人及英雄灵魂居住的冥界，它被誉为世界最美丽的街道。
每年的国庆日，由共和国总统亲自检阅的欧洲最大的阅兵仪式会经过香榭丽舍大街。每年的基督降临节、圣诞季和主显节，香榭丽舍委员会都要在香榭丽舍大街上悬挂节日灯饰，这些工作通常是在11月末到1月初完成的。2007年的香榭丽舍灯饰干得非常漂亮，灯管闪闪，就像飘飘欲下的雪花。
