Triumphal Arch

The Arc de Triomphe has been a defining symbol of Paris eversince completion in 1836 to commemorate the victorious French Army, as by Napolean. Engraved on the arch are numerous names of important and not so important victories and beneath it lies the Tomb of the unknown soldier. You can visit the 50m-tall (164 ft) top of the arch for stunning views of Paris, including the Louvre and the Champs-Elysees or Tour the museum inside which charts the history and construction of the arch. The champs-Elysees is considered to be one of the more elegant boulevards in the world, was first developed in 1667.. It used to be a showground for Parisian high society who would take walks down the tree-lined pavements, and although it now has its fair share of car showrooms and cinemas. it still retains an air of exclusivity with luxury boutiques and expensive cafes.
