|
The Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile is dedicated to the glory of the victorious French armies of the Revolution and the First Empire. Napoleon ordered the building of this mighty structure in 1806 but did not live to see its completion in 1836. It was designed by JF Chalgrin (1739-1811) and completely restored in 1988-89.
