L'Avenue des Champs-Élysées is a very famous avenue in Paris, located in the 8th arrondissement. Because it is a location, the Google Translate result (Avenue des Champs-Elysees) would technically be correct, just an anglicized version of the name. However, if you want to go deeper: Champs-Élysées is French for the Elysian Fields, which in Greek mythology was the place heroes went when they died.
