The Arc de Triomphe is another famous monument in Paris. The momument is located at the center of Place Charles de Gaulle at the end of the Champs-Élysées. The Arc was built to honor the people who fought and died in the Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. Beneath the Arc is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.

The most iconic images of the Arc is when the Nazis paraded past the arc after the surrender of Paris to Hilter and then later as the Allied forces marched down the Champs-Élysées after victory over Hitler. Two incredible moments; one of defeat and one of victory right beneath this grand monument.
