The Arc de Triomphe is one of the most famous monuments in Paris located at the top of the Champs-Élysées. Commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806 the arch was built to honor the soldiers who fought and died for France during the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars.
The monument is decorated with impressive sculptures and reliefs depicting key military victories and moments in French history. Beneath the arch lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier where an eternal flame burns in memory of those who died in World War I.
Visitors can climb to the top for a panoramic view of Paris offering a stunning perspective over the grand avenues radiating from the monument.
