In 1616 Marie de Médicis turned the place into a fashionable driveway with the help of André Le Notre who landscape the area. It became a memorial to French army in 1806 in the same year Jean Chalgrin designed the said arc.

When we arrived in Paris we passed the region Louvre and Champs-Élysées. The Arc de Triomphe is set in the roundabout so since we are in the car and parking is hard to find we took the opportunity to go round twice in the arc to takes some photographs. Even though it’s hard to take photographs whilst the car is moving we still manage to take some nice shoots.
Aside from Eiffel Tower the most visited attractions in Paris, France. The Arc de Triomphe is famous monument and Paris famous tourist attraction as well. And travellers should not miss to visit and see every detail on the monument. Don’t forget “It’s FREE to wander”.
