The Arc de Triomphe in Paris is located in the center of Paris. The center of Charles de Gaulle Square (also known as Star Square) was ordered by Napoleon in February 1806 to commemorate his great defeat of the Austrian-Russian Coalition forces in the Battle of Austerlitz. It is the largest of more than 0/00 Triomphe in Europe/KLOC. On July 29th, 1836, the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France was completed. The Arc de Triomphe in Paris is about 50 meters high, 45 meters wide and 22 meters thick. There are doors on all sides, and the width of the middle arch is14.6m. There are many exquisite carvings on the door. The inner wall is engraved with the names of hundreds of generals who followed Napoleon's expeditions to the east and the west, and hundreds of victory reliefs that publicized Napoleon's brilliant exploits. Huge statues are carved on the outer wall, with the French war history from 1792 to 18 15 as the background. All the statues have their own characteristics, which form an organic whole with the flower relief on the lintel, just like a beautiful and moving work of art, among which the most striking one is the "1792 voluntary expedition" carved on the stone pillar on the right (facing the pastoral street), which is the relief of the famous "La Marseillaise" and an immortal artistic masterpiece occupying an important position in the world art history.
