Majestic Arc de Triomphe

France had a lot of military victories, albeit several hundred years ago. This tribute is quite a grand celebration of those victories. The French know how to puff out their chest.

The Arc de Triomphe (in English: "Triumphal Arch") honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.
