Creating An Inviting Ambiance At Our Paris Arc De Triomphe Hotel

The Arc de Triomphe is one of the most prestigious monuments in France - only minutes from the Renaissance Paris Hotel Le Parc Trocadero. Honoring those soldiers who died fighting for France, the Arc is also home to the tomb of the unknown soldier. Explore this amazing attraction, which is a short walk from our Arc de Triomphe hotel. From our Arc de Triomphe Paris hotel, you can also see the rest of the "historic axis" -- a sequence of monuments and grand thoroughfares on a route winding from the courtyard of the Louvre Palace to the outskirts of Paris. Other facts about the Arc de Triomphe include: The monument was designed by Jean Chalgrin in 1806, pitting heroically nude French youths against bearded Germanic warriors in chain mail. This set the tone for public monuments, with triumphant nationalistic messages, until World War I. The monument is the second-largest triumphal arch in existence. Its design was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus. Three weeks after the Paris victory parade in 1919 -- marking the end of World War I -- Charles Godefroy flew his biplane through the Arc, an act caught by the newsreels.
