One of the most awesome spots in the city
Paris, my number one city. It overall beauty and history are way to fasinating to put it in a small review message like this. But my most favorite spot in the city is the Arc de Triumph at the west end of the Avenue des Champs Elysees. The Arc is a war monument that Napoleon Bonaparte had built to show his great victories. If your are standing under the Arc you will see different names of the towns that he conquered on his campaigns. And here, under the Arc, is a flame burning for the fallen of wars. You can climb the Arc and enjoy a marvelous sight over the city, for a reasonable price.
There is a time in the year when the sun is perfectly alligned with the Champs Elysees and shines under the Arc. This is a great picture spot. I recommend the evenings especially, because the Champs Elysees will be full of lights. All across the Champs Elysees is the Louvre museum, opposite of the Arc, on the east end of this beautiful Avenue.
