L'Arc de Triomphe in Paris, in the summer of 1983. Located on the Place Charles de Gaulle, at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, it stands in honour of soldiers who died for France in the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I lies beneath it. The monument was designed in 1806 by Jean Chalgrin.
