Arch of Triumph

Built by order of Napoleon to celebrate his many victories, Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile was completed in 1836. It is 50m tall, 45m wide and 22m deep.
Visitors may access its top for a great view of Paris from the focal point of this 12-pointed star. An elevator is reserved for those that need it. All others have to climb the stair. The view from the top is breathtaking in more than one way.
