The Arc de Triomphe is a 162ft high monument in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, Paris, France (also known as the "Place de l"Étoile'). It is situated at the western end of the famous Champs-Élysées. The triumphal arch honors those who have fought for France, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-15). Inside and atop of the arc there are all of the names of generals and wars fought.
Underneath the Arc De Triomphe is the tomb of the unknown soldier from World War I. |
