Arc de Triomphe in Paris: photos, reviews

About

The largest triumphal arch in the world is located in the French capital at Place de l'Étoile. Its creator was J.F. Chalgrin. This monument is another iconic symbol of Paris, just like the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower.

According to Napoleon's concept, the arch was intended to symbolize not so much Paris itself, but rather the strength of the imperial power and the army. Its construction took about 30 years. It was this structure that "escorted" the commander on his last journey to the Les Invalides.

In the first half of the 1900s, the Eternal Flame was solemnly lit under the Arc de Triomphe in honor of the unknown soldier who died during World War I.

Красивое, впечатляющее, монументальное сооружение. Особо понравились скульптуры, увековечивающие триумф Бонапарта. Мы с женой поднимались на смотровую площадку арки. Подъем по лестнице довольно утомительный, однако оно того стоит. Сверху открывается потрясающая панорама. Под аркой же находится Вечный огонь.

На стенах Триумфальной арки можно прочитать имена знаменитых полководцев, а также названия сражений, некогда выигранных французами. Под сводами строения расположена могила рядового солдата. Можно не ограничиваться лишь внешним осмотром, а заплатить и подняться наверх, ведь отсюда открывается панорама на столицу Франции.
