At the top of the Champs-Elysées, the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile is the most illustrious symbol of French national history. Decorated on all its facades with sculpted groups, the "Departure of the Volunteers", facing the Champs-Elysées, seems to invite us to visit. Over fifty meters above the ground, we can dominate Parisian life and contemplate the world-famous perspectives of the city's urban planners, first and foremost Baron Haussmann.
