La Defense



While the Arch de Triomphe is before us, please take a moment to see the modern arch behind us. Before us stands, La Defense. The arch was commissioned as part of France's bicentennial celebration of the French Revolution in 1989. The Grand Arche's design is a magnificent modern interpretation of the iconic Arc de Triomphe, with a colossal cube-shaped structure rising to a height of 110 meters (361 feet). As a representation of modernity and progress, the Grand Arche at La Défense stands as a reminder of France's rich history and its continual pursuit of innovation. The arch sits so you can see the Arch de Tromphe symbolizing Frances past, and as you look at La Defense: the future.

POI 2 Tour Image
Arch de Triomphe



Welcome to the Arc de Triomphe. The Arc is the center point of twelve grand avenues that get you anywhere across the city. The Arc de Triomphe stands magnificently at the western end of Champs-Élysées, a symbol of France's military prowess. Commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806 to honor the victories of the French army, the construction faced delays due to historical events, finally reaching completion in 1836. Adorned with intricate sculptures and reliefs, the arch commemorates significant military events and pays tribute to the brave soldiers who fought for France's glory. It serves as a solemn reminder of the nation's rich history and the sacrifices made for its freedom. Beneath the imposing arch lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a poignant memorial dedicated to the fallen heroes of World War I. An eternal flame burns here, perpetually illuminating their memory and honoring their sacrifice for the nation.
