Arc de Triomphe

The Arc de Triomphe was built to honor the Napoleon Kings and marks the tomb of the unknown World War II soldier. It is located at the Place Charles de Gaulle in the intersection of several streets thus forming a roundabout. It can be seen in the distance from the streets that form the intersection. You can buy a ticket to go to the stop, but I decided that it was not worth it. Since I've been to the top of Eiffel already this shorter momentum will have to be a skip.

There were several groups gathering around street performers. This group of break dancers were able to attract so much attention that they started to block sidewalk traffic.
