The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile (Triumphal Arch of the Star) is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle (originally named Place de l'Étoile), at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. It should not be confused with a smaller arch, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, which stands west of the Louvre. The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I. The Arc de Triomphe is the linchpin of the Axe historique (historic axis) – a sequence of monuments and grand thoroughfares on a route which runs from the courtyard of the Louvre to the Grande Arche de la Défense. The monument was designed by Jean Chalgrin in 1806 and its iconographic program pits heroically nude French youths against bearded Germanic warriors in chain mail. It set the tone for public monuments with triumphant patriotic messages. The monument stands 50 metres in height, 45 m wide and 22 m deep. Its design was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus. The Arc de Triomphe is built on such a large scale that, three weeks after the Paris victory parade in 1919 (marking the end of hostilities in World War I), Charles Godefroy flew his Nieuport biplane through it, with the event captured on newsreel. It was the tallest triumphal arch in existence until the completion of the Monumento a la Revolución in Mexico City in 1938, which is 67 metres high. The Arch of Triumph in Pyongyang, completed in 1982, is modelled on the Arc de Triomphe and is slightly taller at 60 m [Wikipedia.org]

"The hotel is adorable, and everyone is so helpful and friendly, great place to walk close to many attractions."

Hotel Magda Champs Elysées

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for 1 night at this hotel. Hotel is located just 5 minutes walking distance from Arc De Triumph. It is convenient and there are lots of restaurants and shops just nearby. We arrived early before check in and we were able to drop off and leave our luggage at the front desk. The room was standard, it is big enough for a family of 4. There was 2 free water bottles and coffee. The elevator was extremely small which is standard i guess in Europe. It can only accommodate 2 people at a time. There was a construction outside the hotel making the narrow road a bit narrower but it is manageable. Keep in mind that the hotel is located in a one way street. Overall, it was a pleasant stay! "

Le Tsuba Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My second visit to this superbly located hotel. The rooms are very confortable and always provided a good night's sleep. The spa is good too. One observation I have is that they need more reception staff - the ones they have seem to spend all their time in the back room and there's no obvious way (like a bell) to let them know you are waiting. On my previous visit, someone was always visibly on the desk. Nonetheless this remains one of my favourite hotels in Paris and I hope to return soon. "
