Take a trip to Arc de Triomphe on your France Vacation
The Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France is an iconic symbol of remembrance and victory. It pays tribute to those who bravely fought and sacrificed their lives during the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. The names of French victories and generals are engraved on its surfaces.
