L'Arc de Triomphe

In the middle of the Place Charles de Gaulle at the very top of the Champs-Elysee stands the famous Arc de Triomphe. This incredible monument, standing 50 meters high, was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806. Visitors can cross beneath the dangerous and scary rotary to visit the inside of the monument, and to witness the incredible views from the top! We made this one of our cultural events this weekend.
