The Arc de Triomphe is famous for its monumental architecture and historical significance as a symbol of French national pride. Commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806 to honor the French army's victories, it stands at the western end of the Champs-Élysées in Paris. The monument features intricate sculptures and engravings that commemorate key battles and military leaders. Additionally, it serves as the site of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, representing France's remembrance of its fallen soldiers.
