Arc de Triomphe

:)

Another one of Paris's and the World's famous monument , the Arc de Triomphe. Located at the Charles de Gaulle , it is built to honor those who fought and died for France during the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars. We took Metro Line 1 and alighted at Charles de Gaulle - Etolie , went straight up the stairs and there is the famous monument. Also , like the Musee du Lourve and the Eiffel Tower , the Arc de Triomphe has been featured in post cards , television shows and many other things , thus to see it face to face was also quite an experience. However I must say that it is not really my type of attraction because it has not much to look at apart from its carvings and the situation of it being in the center of a busy Paris junction. I will definitely prefer the Lourve and the Eiffel Tower more than this but of course , if you are visiting Paris , you got to see them all right? Nevertheless , we think that it is a great experience visiting the Arc de Triomphe although it is only for a short period of time as it is a representation of French History as well as one of the many landmarks of Paris.
