An Inspiring Arc of Victory
A 3-day Museum Pass allowed you to use the Lift to go up to the display of Napoleon's artifacts, medallions, and tent (98m above sea level). Use the staircase to go to the terrace to see the 12 boulevards pointing out from the Arc. You know why it is called the 'Etoile' - 12 pointed star!
It commemorates 168 victorious battles that Napoleon I and his generals won. Scuptures around the Arc shows Logistic and Transportation, which were Napoleon's keys to win battles during his compaigns in Spain, Italy and Prussia from 1804-1815.
He also said "Intelligence is not measured from feet to head, but from head to sky!"
