Arc de Triomphe

From the city's second landmark, Napoleon's Arc de Triomphe, one has an overview of the Champs-Elysées and eleven other avenues.

The Arc de Triomphe, 50 m high and almost as wide, at the upper end of the Champs Elysées, honours Napoleons victories. One can see twelve avenues converging here star-shaped, and enjoy a great view of the city.

    There's no shortage of giant arches in Western Europe, but this one in Paris anchoring Les Champs-Élysées might just take the cake.

    This iconic Parisian landmark is worth a visit, although it's most spectacular from the middle of the road. Try to get a photo from here if you can.

    Climbing the 284 stairs to the top of the Arc de Triomphe pays off: standing in the middle of the Place d'Étoile you'll get an exceptional view of the starshaped avenues, which your eyes can follow until the horizon. And for those who aren't impressed by the view: watching the traffic chaos on the Place d'Étoile is kind of amusing.

    The big Arc de Triomphe was a homage from Napoleon Bonaparte to his invincible army though the Emperor was removed and he died and never saw the colossal monument finished. The Arc de Triomphe is one of the most spectacular buildings in Paris.

    right in between the louvre and the champs elysées, the arc de triumpf provides an amazing aura of the napolean era!
