The Arc de Triomphe was orginally intended as a tribute to Napoleon's army. When it was completed years later, it was more broadly, meant to honor French armies of the revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. It also has an additional meaning as a war memorial, as the tomb of the unknown soldier is located between its feet since just after WWI.
Today people will think of it also as a large monument and formidable Parisian landmark, with a commanding view over the Louvre palace or the Eiffel tower.
