Arc de Triomphe 1996


Arc de Triomphe 2012

The Arc de Triomphe was opened by King Louis-Philippe in 1836. Jean-Francois Chalgrin, inspired by Rome's Arch of Titus, was the architect behind this 50 m high (45 m long, 22 m wide) structure.






The Arc de Triomphe is located at Place Charles-de-Gaulle and close to subway lines 1,2 and 6. It is open most days at 10:00 a.m.. Closing times vary by season.

The Avenue des Champs-Élysées  is a wide avenue running between the Place de la Concorde and the Place Charles d Gaulle.
