Arc de Triomphe

Opéra / Champs-Élysées, Paris

A Preview

"The Arc de Triomphe. Fifty meters of stone triumph, standing in the middle of the busiest roundabout in Europe. Twelve avenues pour into this circle, and French drivers negotiate it on instinct and nerve. Napoleon ordered the arch in eighteen oh-six, after Austerlitz, and promised his soldiers they would march home through it. Then it took thirty years to build."
