April 24, 2009 - Arc de Triomphe, Lunch at Laduree

Napoléon's Triumphal Arch
The arch was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 to commemorate his victories, but he was ousted before the arch was completed. In fact, it wasn't completed until 1836 during the reign of Louis-Philippe. The Arc de Triomphe is engraved with names of generals who commanded French troops during Napoleon's regime.
Champs-Elysées
The Avenue des Champs-Elysées is probably the most famous avenue in the world.
