What Is So Special About the Arc de Triomphe?

Designed in a neoclassical style, the Arc de Triomphe stands as an architectural masterpiece, symbolizing French artistic prowess. The arch, with its historical significance, was built to honor those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

The enormous structure, measuring 50 meters tall and 45 meters wide, is made of limestone and weighs an estimated 600,000 tons. Located at the western end of the Champs-Élysées and forming a visual axis with the Louvre Pyramid and the Grande Arche de la Défense, the arch offers commanding views of Paris from its rooftop.

Arc de Triomphe serves as a symbol of France’s military victories and national pride, being a focal point for patriotic events and ceremonies. Additionally, it houses the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a poignant memorial dedicated to unidentified soldiers who lost their lives in World War I. The Flame of Remembrance, burning at the foot of the arc since 1923, is never extinguished and is renewed every evening at 6:30 pm.
