THE ARC DE TRIOMPHE

Paris, France

The Arc de Triomphe is the second largest triumphal arch in existence today. Emperor Napoleon I ordered the construction of the Arc de Triomphe to honor the Grande Armée that won the battle of Austerlitz in 1806. Designed by the French architect Jean Chalgrin, its design was mainly inspired by the Arch of Titus, a marble triumphal arch in Rome. The arch took thirty years to complete, long after Napoleon’s death on St. Helena. It stands majestically at the center of the Place Charles de Gaulle, and from the roof of the arch are breathtaking views of Paris. Since its construction, many famous victory marches have gone by the shadow of the Arc de Triomphe, including the Germans in 1871, the French in 1918, the Germans again in 1940, and the French and Allied forces when Paris was liberated in 1944. Annually on July 14, Bastille Day (the French National Day), a military parade starts at the Arc de Triomphe and makes its way down the Champs Élysées.

The Arc de Triomphe is located in the center of the Place Charles de Gaulle, Paris. In terms of height, it stands tall at 162 feet or 49.5 meters. Its depth is measured at 72 feet or 22 meters, while its width is 150 feet or 45 meters.
