The Arc de Triomphe: It dominates one end of the famous Champs-Élysées, in the middle of the Place de l'Etoile. It is a national symbol because it burns to his feet, never extinguished the flame in memory of the fallen during World War soldiers. He is currently a link between the old Paris and the present and is part of the axis that separates the Louvre modern arch Arco neighborhood of Defense. There spend most of the large demonstrations in honor of the French Republic as the parade of July 14 or a sporting event such as the arrival of the Tour de France. Each year, almost a million and half visitors climb to the terrace of the monument to admire the 12 avenues that are emerging from the monument forming "star" that gives its name to the square. If you like excitement I advise you go by car this roundabout is like being raised in bumper cars fairs. The adrenaline rush is guaranteed!
