Arc d'Triomphe

Janeen and Janet at the Arc d'Triomphe : Paris, FR

This is a picture of me and Janeen at the Arc d'Triomphe after our visit to Sainte-Chapelle. While we were at Napolean's grand monument, there was a wreath laying ceremony at the Eternal Flame. Here's a bit of trivia for you: when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Mrs. Kennedy--remembering the Eternal Flame over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc d'Triomphe--requested a similar flame over her husband's grave at Arlington National Cemetery.

Arc de Triomphe

The magnificent Arc de Triomphe at the end of the Champs-Élysées

Just a few photos from the Arc de Triomphe. The detail on this monument was exquisite. And it's HUGE. For a sense of scale, look at the people next to the arch, not the ones by the lamppost.
