The tomb of the Unknown Soldier (in French: le Tombeau du Soldat Inconnu) is located at the foot of the Arc, facing the Champs-Elysées. The Tomb is listed as a national monument in itself. Although it is a very discreet and sober spot, marked mainly by the Eternal Flame, this is a place of utmost significance to all French.
In 1920 a WWI unidentified soldier was laid there to rest, in a gesture meant to honour all the soldiers who lost their live for the defence of France. The Eternal Flame is rekindled in a ceremony held everyday at 18:30.
It is located beneath the Arc de Triomphe at Charles de Gaulle/Etoile.
The Arc de Triomphe is closed in the morning of July 14th. For the national day, troops gather in the surrounding avenues (Grande-Armée and Foch especially) where the French president will review them, before the parade on the Champs-Elysées. No public is allowed in the monument until the ceremony ends at noon.

The best-known "arc de triomphe" is a French monument in Paris. The name means "Triumphal Arch" in English, and comes from the Latin words "arcus" (arc, arch, bow) and "triumphus", so the monument is in fact named after its architecture and not after someone or by a special name.The Arc de Triomphe "de l'étoile" is named this because of its location (on the "star" square up the Champs-Elysees, while the Arc du Carrousel stands by the Louvre (a carrousel was a circle where horses where trained).It is pronounced "ark-duh-tree-omph (deh-ley-twa-ll)"
In French, the word "monument" is masculine. It is used with the masculine article "le," as in "le monument." Therefore, you would say "un monument" for "a monument" and "des monuments" for "monuments."
