Arc De Triomphe

Category: Lieu Culturel > Monument

Un des monuments les plus emblématiques de la capitale

Souhaité par Napoléon Ier dès 1806, l'Arc de triomphe est inauguré en 1836 par le roi des Français, Louis-Philippe, qui le dédie aux armées de la Révolution et de l'Empire.
C'est aujourd'hui l'un des monuments les plus emblématiques de la capitale. Le Soldat inconnu est inhumé sur le terre-plein en 1921.
La flamme du souvenir y est ravivée tous les jours à 18h30. Une vue imprenable nous attend si l'on grimpe à son sommet !
