Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile

This weekend I was walking downtown and I happened to stumble across people break dancing! I personally am not a big fan but it sparked a memory in my brain! The last time I saw people break dancing was in France. People there are very different but they make it all the more interesting! I loved it!

Right next to the spot with the break dancers was Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile. It is a beautiful structure which people from all over the world travel to see. Like me!

The arch was finished 1836 at 164ft tall in Paris, France. It took 30 years to build! The purpose is to honor those who fought and died for france in the French Revolutionary and Napoleanic wars.


 Names of all french victories and generals are inscribed on it's inner and outer surfaces! It is FREE to go to and you can climb the stairs to get to the top and see across Paris!
