Standing tall at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe is one of Paris’s most emblematic landmarks. Commissioned in 1806 by Napoleon Bonaparte after his victory at Austerlitz, this monumental arch was built to honor the French army and those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Today, it remains a symbol of national pride and historical grandeur.
During your Vélo-Taxi journey, you’ll approach this architectural masterpiece along the beautiful tree-lined avenues that radiate from Place Charles de Gaulle. The sheer scale of the Arc de Triomphe is breathtaking — it rises 50 meters high and is adorned with intricate sculptures that tell the stories of battle, patriotism, and sacrifice. Beneath the arch lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a powerful reminder of the countless lives lost in World War I, marked by an eternal flame that has burned continuously since 1923.
As you pause near the monument, your driver-guide will offer fascinating insights into the design, history, and symbolic importance of the site.
