This is another product of the brilliant ideas of Napoleon. This arc is significant to the Parisians for it commemorates their history. This arc symbolizes many important facts in the history of Paris most especially the French Revolution. It represents the bravery and patriotism of those generals who fought and even died in the battle. The Arc de Triomphe de l’Etoile also shows how talented the Parisians are in the field of architecture.

By far, this is really one of the greatest monuments to ever rise on Paris. Not only is it a wonderful sight, but it is full of history as well. In fact, on all sides of the arc, you can find “the departure of the volunteers”. The observatory on top of the arc will also allow you to get one of the best views of the whole city of Paris. Absolutely stunning!

This is probably the second most common picture of Paris, next to the Eifel Tower of course. I have always wondered why this is such a common picture when your searching for famous spots in Paris. I was so curious that I even asked a good friend of mine who now resides in Paris to tell me what is so important about this arc. It was only then that I knew of the great importance this arc has to the history of France. She even shared to me a fun fact about this arc. She told me that because this arc is so huge, a Nieuport biplane was able to pass right through it in the Victory Party at the end of World War I.
