What continent is arc de triomphe in?
Are you serious? It's in Europe; more specifically it is in Paris, France :) It was constructed by Napoleon I believe and it contains the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I would recommend visiting it if possible. If you purchase a Paris Museum Pass (which you can find by Google searching it) you can cut the line and climb to the top for free (minus the price of the pass). The pass also allows you to visit many other locations for a great price! For more information and history, follow link:
