Arc de Triomphe
Paris sightseeing August 3rd
The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 and it was completed in 1836. It stands on Paris’s main east-west axis. The sides have sculptures by 20 different artists. The climb up the spiral stairs was a good work out and the views from the roof terrace were incredible! Twelve different roads radiate out from the Arc de Triomphe. With that many roads connecting at the base, its fun to just watch the cars navigate their way around. It was also a thrill everytime we drove thru it!
