Arch of Triumph

Arch of Triumph

The Arch of Triumph  is one of the most famous landmarks  in Paris it is where the burial Of the unknown soldiers lie from world war one
It is at the end of the Camps DE Elysèes - shont a Lee zay (English)and it is a circuit starting at the Louvre where a mini  Arch of Triumph is,
It was built in 1808 by a man called Jean Chalgrin but he died soon after in 1812 so a man called  Jean-Nicolas Huyot Took  over the job
A Man Called Victor Marie Hugo Died he was a very famous Poet, Writer,Play-writer and he played music
he was buried under the arch of Triumph in 1885
Did you know its one of the biggest and busiest round abouts in the world?
Also If you cross it its like 1 step Forward 2 steps back 5 steps Forward 3 steps back and its so confusing but for those people that look there is a tunnel to go under neath which also is where you can buy tickets to up and stand on the balcony
I myself have been there its pretty cool but i saw a person walk on a grave he got told off. Its a very respectful place. So when your visiting paris go see a monument of paris see something histrocical like The arch of triumph
