Wow this video was from 13 years ago. Thank you

[@jk1776yt]

An explanation of what was ON the arch, names, sculptures, statues etc would have been informative as well. Thanks for the video.

A big piece of the history is forgotten : WW1, the Arc de Triumph doesn't only commemorate the Napoleonic victories but also the sacrifices of WW1, after the victory in 1918, a massive ceremony was thrown under the Arc by the French government, and nowaday and eternal flame burns below it.

Simon, Ken Gatward was a relative of my wife, the page from his flight book reads in a very understated manner typical of the man "Paris-no cover-0ft drop tricolours on arc Triumphe & Ministry marine shoot german HQ Little flak-No E.A. Bird in STBD oil radiator". Apparently they gave the bird a decent burial on landing!

I literally shit myself watching that guy 1:00 running across the street. I was like “omg you’re gonna get hit ! Run!”

[@lzbriden]

[@markangeloflores9180]

Did you also mention the grave of the unknown soldier on the infrastructure?

[@lindsayhengehold5341]

So want to visit here when I can go to Paris someday!

[@Travellight21]

Great video and very informative. I was just there!

[@jk1776yt]

The only thing that comes close to Napoleon's victories is the guy (1:00) who was able to run across that insane roundabout to the Arch without getting killed.

[@freeman9738]

[@agartamahajan5663]

The ice covered lake certainly did not make 20,000 Russians lose their lives.

[@wolverineeagle]

Prussians are not sorta Germans, but Germans.

[@7macfly2]

Very biased history by you....

[@Bike_Lion]

How so?...

[@pupukachu]

@@Bike_Lion it wasn’t anywhere near 20,000 Russians who died on the broken ice but more like a couple hundred.

[@Propain4eva]

Indian drivers could probably drift round there blindfolded

[@robertriquelmy7193]

Lousy content too
