Arc de Triomphe

The Arc de Triomphe is Paris's most triumphant monument, a 50-meter neoclassical arch standing at the center of twelve radiating avenues at the top of the Champs-Élysées. Commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte to honor his Grande Armée's victories, it took 30 years to complete. The tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the arch is still tended with a daily flame, and the rooftop terrace offers one of Paris's finest panoramas over Haussmann's grand boulevards.
