Arc de Triomphe Information

At the tip of the Champs-Élysées is napoleon's triumphant antique arch. Commissioned in 1806 to celebrate the victories of the great army, it was completed in 1836. Its huge proportions – 50 metres high and 45 wide – are decorated with fine sculpture by Cortot and Étex, along with Rude's famous Marseillaise. A flame is rekindled each evening at 6.30pm and the inscription 'here lies a French soldier, who died for his country' is written on the tomb of an unknown soldier laid to rest here in 1921.
