Storm Crypt
Arc de Triomphe
And you don't get to see how colossal this arc is if you don't get closer -- and how small the people are compared to its structure.
This is Arc of Triumph, built by Napoleon Bonaparte. One of the most famous landmarks in the world. Inspired by Rome's arc of Titus (see my previous posts). It was built for the victories of Napoleon Bonaparte.
The monuments stands to almost 50 meters tall, and about 45 meters wide. Beneath it is a tomb of an unknown soldier killed in the first world War.
It is also a significant land mark of the Tour de France which ends Sunday. The last stage end in the avenue where this arc is located.
