Arc De Triomphe, we didn't get any really great pictures due to the refurbishment working being done. It is still an awesome structure to think that is was built as a monument to the tomb on the unknown solider of WWI and yet, roughly 50 years later, Hitler and his troop would march through the center, over the top of the tomb. It is almost humbling to stand in the middle of the Arc, and visualize the Nazi troops marching and the bristling of the French at the sheer disrespect. You can not only feel, but sense the history here.
