Arc de Triomphe
Located at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, the
iconic Arc de Triomphe stands at the center of the Place
Charles de Gaulle, also known as the “Place de l’Étoile”.
It was built between 1806 and 1836 in honor of those who
had fought for France and is considered the linchpin of the
historic axis (L’Axe historique) – a sequence of monuments
and grand thoroughfares on a route that stretches from the
courtyard of the Louvre Palace to the outskirts of Paris.
