The Arc de Triomphe is one of the most iconic and impressive monuments in Paris, France. Standing proudly at the western end of the Champs-Élysées Avenue, the monument stands tall and was created out of a neoclassical style of design. It honors those who fought for freedom and died in the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. The names of all victories and generals are inscribed within and around it, as well as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from WWI. Measuring up to 164 ft in height and 148ft in width, this triumphal arch is truly an awesome sight to see. Tourists and locals alike will be pleased by its sheer grandeur and colossal beauty.
