Shenzhen Window of the World Travel Guide - Arc de Triomphe in Paris

Introduction to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris: The Arc de Triomphe in Paris was built in 1806 during the Napoleonic Empire. It is shaped like a Roman Empire triumphal arch. It is square in shape, simple in composition, more than 48 meters high, and is entirely carved with white marble. It is majestic and solemn. The four groups of giant statues including the "La Marseillaise" on the front and back of the Arc de Triomphe are meticulously carved and record the history of France's war from 1795 to 1815, becoming a spiritual symbol of the French people.
