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.
