No. Napoleon commissioned the Arc and saw the first construction phase, up to the vaults at the time of his demise (1815), so the Arc was not completed. The construction halted and Napoleon died in exile in 1821, long before the monument was finished, in 1836. In 1840 though, his coffin was brought back from St Helena and the cortege passed under the Arc in a huge ceremony.
