Arc de Triomphe – A unique viewpoint. From the top of the panoramic terrace, your eyes sweep over the whole of Paris. Standing at the western end of the world’s most beautiful avenue Champs-Élysées, at the center of Place Charles de Gaulle, formerly named Place de l’Étoile — the étoile or “star” of the juncture formed by its twelve radiating avenues. The construction of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris was ordered in 1806 by Napoleon I, the French Emperor, to honour the victories of his Grande Armée. The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Following its construction, the Arc de Triomphe became the rallying point of French troops parading after successful military campaigns and for the annual Bastille Day Military Parade. A ceremony is held at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier every 11 November on the anniversary of the armistice signed by the Entente Powers and Germany in 1918. The flame of remembrance is rekindled every evening, the flame is lit on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier from the Great War. ___ MUSIC JUST FOR KICKS • Jack Elphick Source: http://www.epidemicsound.com/ ___ WEB http://www.joejourneys.com FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/joejourneys INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/joejourneys TWITTER https://twitter.com/joejourneys ___ CAMERAS AND EQUIPMENT • Sony A7 II http://amzn.to/2r8TJ6A • Sony SEL1635Z E Mount Full Frame Lens http://amzn.to/2rPAXDa • GoPro Hero 4 Black http://amzn.to/2oJiitG • Zhiyun Z1 Evolution Stabilizer Gimbal http://amzn.to/2nIjxoB • Amazon.co.uk - http://amzn.to/2nPdTBW
