Standing at the center of Place Charles de Gaulle, the Arc de Triomphe was commissioned by Napoleon I in 1806 to honor the French army’s victories. The construction was completed in 1836 under King Louis-Philippe, making it a lasting symbol of national pride.\u003cbr\u003eThe Arc de Triomphe is a monumental arch that commemorates the soldiers who fought and died for France during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. It stands 49.5 meters high with 284 steps leading to the top, offering panoramic views of the city.\u003cbr\u003eBeneath the arch lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, added in 1921 in memory of the fallen soldiers of World War I. The eternal flame, lit each evening, serves as a tribute to all unidentified war casualties.\u003cbr\u003eThe relief sculptures visible in this image, such as Le Départ des Volontaires (1792) by François Rude, depict key moments in French military history. The surrounding Avenue des Champs-Élysées, one of the world’s most famous streets, extends from the monument, making it a focal point of Parisian grandeur.\u003cbr\u003eThe reverse side of this postcard follows the classic \"CARTE POSTALE\" format.\u003cbr\u003eFront Text: \"Paris – L’Arc de Triomphe\"\u003cbr\u003eSize ±: 14 cm x 9 cm\u003cbr\u003ePlease review the images as part of the description.\u003cbr\u003eAuthenticity is guaranteed!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZipZappa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55103737627002,"sku":"POS630-","price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/8524\/5719\/files\/paris-france-arc-de-triomphe-postcard-early-20th-century-8114647.jpg?v=1751900382","url":"https:\/\/www.zipzappa.com\/es\/products\/paris-france-arc-de-triomphe-postcard-early-20th-century","provider":"ZipZappa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
