And there is this remarkable piece of Architecture at the end of the Champs Elysees, in the center of the most exciting roundabout in the western hemisphere: The Arc de Triomphe! Raised by Napoleon, not himself of course, and now the place is named after this other great french general: Charles de Gaulle. Although the Parisiens themselves still call it 'Place d'etoile', referring to the star-shape that connects 12 roads. Have a look, preferably at nighttime, and i you like, you can go up to the roof and overlook the Champs Elysees and the rest of the city, again, most pretty at night, or sunset! Tickets availabale down here.
