∙ 10y agoThe Grande Arche is a modern office building in the business district of La Defense, west of Paris. The Arche is designed to replicate (with a modern design), the historical Arc de Triomphe. They are in the same straight line when you are looking from Le Louvre and the Tuileries gardens at the bottom end of the Champs-Elysees. The Grande Arche has been slightly angled on the line, to give it some depth when you look at it.
