The Arc de Triomphe is a monument that stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, in Paris.
The arch is located at the end of the Champs Elysees, in the middle of the Place Charles de Gaulle, a large circular square from which no less than 12 streets emanate. The streets are named after French military leaders.
The arch was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 to commemorate his victories, but he was ousted before the arch was completed.
The Arc de Triomphe is engraved with names of generals who commanded French troops during Napoleon's regime.
