Arc de Triomphe

My favourite monument in Paris, the Arc de Triomphe completed in 1836 has been described as the most monumental of monument arches. Standing in the centre of  Place de l'Étoile and the Champs-Élysées, the arch honours those who fought and lost their lives for France with a particular emphasis on the Napoleonic wars.
