At the western end of the Champs-Elysees, in the center of the Place de Charles de Gaulle, stands the Arc de Triomphe (1806).
The Arc de Triomphe honors those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I. It stands 50m (164 ft) tall. [Wikipedia]
