	Arc de Triomphe: Arch de Triumphe

Arch de Triomphe

by bduffy007

After the Eiffel Tower this is the next most recognizable spot in Paris. The arch was completed in 1836 and was supposedly commissioned by Napoleon himself in honor of his army. The Arch stands 164 feet high and you can go to the top of the Arch to view Paris. I was completely unaware of this until I began researching for my Paris trip. The Arch sits at the top of the Champs des Elysees and from the arch you can view the 12 boulevards that eminate from her.

I heard stories of people crossing the traffic circle in front of the arch to reach her (not a good idea as you can imagine) the best bet is the underground tunnel which prevents the dangerous traffic in and around the Arch

	Arc de Triomphe: Monumental

Arc de Triomph

Arc de Triomph is similar to other arches I've seen, the difference is its monumetal size.
Located at the top of the Champs-Elysees, it's one of Paris's typical symbols.
It was constructed by command of Napoleon, celebrating the French Army.

	Arc de Triomphe: Arc de Triomphe on a cloudy day

Arc de Triomphe

by rochellevm

Arc de Triomphe stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. It is one of the famous monuments that is identified with France, so it is worth a visit. Since Champs-Élysées is just a short walk from the Arc, if you're into shopping, then you can go head straight to Champs-Élysées from the Arc.

It was commissioned by Napoleon to signify their victories (triumphs) thus the name. It has so much character and detail that distinguishes it from other arches.

Arc de triomphe is probably one of the best known landmarks in Paris only second to the Eiffel Tower. People actually stand in the middle of the roads to get their picture taken in front of it. You can go inside and there is a small museum. The unknown soldiers tomb is also located here. You can climb to the top of the arc also.

Obligatory picture of arc

by Nexus7

Arc de triomphe. You have to see this for the beauty of Paris. It's a must and it's pretty easy to get there. When you see it, you will say, I'm really in France. Wow! It's protected by a traffic circle, which you must go underneath.
