Grande Arche Description
The Grande Arche in Paris, a huge rectangular triumphal arch 110m/360ft high faced with white Carrara marble, was inaugurated in 1989 on the bicentenary of the French Revolution: a contemporary "window on the world" and a symbol of fraternity. The architect was a Dane, Johan Otto von Spreckelsen. Among the organizations housed in the Grande Arche are the Ministry of Town Planning and Housing and an international society concerned with human rights.
