The famous Arc de Triomphe is one of the symbols of Paris. It is installed on Charles de Gaulle Square at the very beginning of the Champs-Elysees. It was manufactured by order of Napoleon in honor of his victories from 1806 to 1836. The size of the arch is impressive and, understanding its history, you feel like a part of this history.
