| - Voie Triomphale - |
| The
Voie Triomphale is an axis which runs in a direct straight line from the
Louvre Palace, along the centre of
the Jardins Tuileries, across the Place de la
Concorde, up the Avenue des Champs Elysees, through the
Arc de
Triomphe and ultimately through to the modern structure of
La Defense. It lasts nine kilometres and its purpose is to promote
French power and prestige. Here you can see the Champs Elysees at night, with the Arc, La Defence and the Egyptian obelisk (in the Place de la Concorde) in plain view. |

| This was taken standing just outside the Jardins Tuileries, you'll notice a ferris wheel in the distance which is in the centre of the Place de la Concorde. |
