The Arc de Triomphe
Erected at Napoleon's behest, the Arc de Triomphe is among the most famous monuments in Paris. Beyond its purely aesthetic appeal, stemming from the building's beauty and the panoramic view it offers of the capital, particularly the Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe is also, and above all, an important historical symbol.
The Eiffel Tower
It was for the 1889 Universal Exposition, which marked the centenary of the French Revolution, that a major competition was launched.
The first shovels hit the ground on January 28, 1887. On March 31, 1889, the Tower was completed in record time.
Today, it is THE symbol of our capital.
