The Arc de Triomphe is in the center of the Charles de Gaulle Square, the western end of the Champs Elyses, the largest arch in the world. As its name suggests, this is the door to an triumph of the army welcoming the war. After the completion of the Arc de Triomphe, it actually caused inconvenience to the traffic. In the middle of the 19th century, a circular plaza and 12 roads were built around the Arc de Triomphe. Each road was 40-80 meters wide and radial, just like the stars. The splendid light, so this square is also called the Star Square, the Arc de Triomphe is also known as the "Star Gate." In 1970, after the death of General de Gaulle, it was renamed General Charles de Gaulle Square. The 12 streets of the city of Paris are centered around the Arc de Triomphe and radiate to the surrounding area. Standing here, I really feel that the horizon is very open, it is a bit of a domineering world. It seems that great buildings will suffer from twists and turns, and the Arc de Triomphe is no exception. In 1806, in order to commemorate the victory of the Russian-Austrian coalition in 1805, Napoleon ordered the construction of "a great sculpture" to welcome the French soldiers who were about to triumph. But then Napoleon was overthrown and the Arc de Triomphe project stopped midway. It was not until 1830 that the Bourbon dynasty was destroyed that the project could continue. After 30 years of intermittent operation, the Arc de Triomphe was finally completed on July 29, 1836.
