Paris 17th Arrondissement - Arc de Triomphe
The western part of the 17th arrondissement stretches from the Arc de Triomphe, the ave. de Ternes, Place de Wagram and near Parc Monceau. It boasts two of the great restaurants of Paris, Guy Savoy and Michel Rostang.
Making our way up the Avenue Kleber we come to the Arc de Triomphe. Napoleon originally planned to build the arch near the site of the Bastille, but when it was found that that site was unsuitable the present site was chosen. Designed by Chalgrin, and modeled on the Arch of Titus in Rome, the foundation stone was laid on 15 August 1806. Construction was slow, and when the Empress Marie Louise made her state entry into Paris in 1810 the arch was erected in canvas stretched upon wooden scaffolding. By 1814 the arch was still only eighteen feet above ground level. Work stopped with the fall of Napoleon and wasn't recommenced until 1833. it was completed in time for Napoleon's hearse to pass beneath in 1840.
