Paris - The Arc de Triomphe The Arc de Triomphe is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. It was commissioned in 1806 after the victory at Austerlitz by Emperor Napoleon at the peak of his fortunes but not completed until 1833. It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, also known as the Place de l'Étoile (Star Square). It is at the Western end of the Champs-Élysées. The arch honours those who fought for France, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. Underneath is the tomb of the unknown soldier from World War I. The monument stands 49.5 metres (165 ft) in height, 45 metres (148 ft) wide and 22 meters (72 ft) deep. It is the second largest triumphal arch in existence. Its design was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus.
