The Arc de Triomphe is a monument in Paris that stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle. The triumphal arch honours those who fought for France, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. On the inside and the top of the arc are the names of generals and wars fought. Underneath is the tomb of the unknown soldier from World War I.
