Arc De Triumph

We went to the Arc De Triumph.

image

It has some sculptures of some stuff that looks interesting.

image

Don’t ask us what, Kerri didn’t download an audio guide because she had already seen it. And she got nothing out of it the first time either.

image

It definitely involves a crazy bull though.

image

We climbed up a very long spiral staircase to see what was at the top.

image

The answer, of course, was a gift shop.

image

There was also a small screen lying on the floor.

image

Displaying live footage from a camera hidden in this flower. It’s a virtual reality glass floor! I wonder if the gift shop sells one so that we can have the harrowing experience of standing on a glass floor in the Arc De Triumph in our own living room!

image

Above the gift shop we got a great view of the City of Lights.

image

In one direction there were even flashing red and blue lights.

image

The streets all point straight out from the arc, which is kind of a cool effect.

image

There was also a nice view of the Eiffel Tower.

image

When we got down they were doing a ceremony for fallen soldiers. image

This is the eternal flame in honour of the soldiers.
