The Arc de Triomphe from the Place Charles de Gaulle

The Arc de Triomphe is located on Paris's Axe historique, a large perspective that runs from the Louvre to the Grande Arche | Arche de la Défense.

The Arc de Triomphe ( Arc de Triomphe de l ' Étoile ) is one of the most famous monuments in Paris.

There is a smaller arch, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, which stands west of the Louvre.

The Arc de Triomphe ( in English: " Triumphal Arch ") honours 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.

The Arc de Triomphe is so colossal that three weeks after the Paris victory parade in 1919, ( marking the end of hostilities in World War I ), Charles Godefroy flew his Nieuport biplane through it, with the event captured on newsreel.

Following its construction, the Arc de Triomphe became the rallying point of French troops parading after successful military campaigns and for the annual Bastille Day Military Parade.

The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is at the eastern end of the so-called Axe historique (" grand historic axis ") of Paris, a nine-kilometre-long linear route which dominates much of the northwestern quadrant of the city.

Consequently, the older axis extending from the courtyard of the Louvre is slightly skewed to the rest of what has become the Axe historique, but the Arc du Carrousel, at the fulcrum between the two, serves to disguise the discontinuity.
