ARC DE TRIOMPHE

I could see the Eiffel Tower from the top.
This is Champs Elysee.

These are the stairs with 284 steps inside the Arc Triomphe that we had to walk up to the top.





Today we walked along the famous street Champs Elysee to the Arc De Triomphe which is the tallest arch monument in the world. It is 50 metres high. Napoleon had made it in honor of his army and their battles. When it was finished being built they dedicated it to all the French soldiers.
At the bottom of the Arc De Triomphe there is a big roundabout with lots of traffic. We had to walk in a tunnel to get to it. We had to walk up 284 steps to get to the top. At the top we saw a great view of Paris. I could see the Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur and The Obelisk.

This is the Arc Triomphe.
