We take you back to the iconic Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France, a magnificent historical and cultural landmark that stands proudly at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. This grand structure, commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806, honors those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Standing at 50 meters tall and adorned with exquisite sculptures and intricate reliefs, the Arc de Triomphe not only serves as a reminder of France’s rich history but also offers breathtaking views of the city from its terrace.
As visitors gather beneath its arches, they are supposed to be enveloped by a sense of reverence and admiration for the enduring legacy that this architectural marvel represents in the heart of Paris.

Did you ever drive the round-about circling the Arc de Triomphe? Insanity.
We saw, we scared, we shy away! LOL! It would have been nice if, “We came, we saw, we conquered!”
That’s called wisdom, George.
Not showing I responded, George. You may get two. My comment was, “It’s called wisdom!”
