Arc de Triomphe / Triumphal Arch
Paris VIIIIe (Paris XVIe)
1836
Jean François Thérèse Chalgrin, Architect;
Guillaume Abel Blouet, Architect
Completed by Blouet, following the death of Chalgrin in 1811, the
Arc de Triomphe was commissioned by Napoleon to celebrate victory
at Austerlitz. It is the world´s largest triumphal arch and
influenced the later La Grande Arche further along this formal urban
axis of the Étoile. More a national monument than significant
piece of architecture.

Johan Otto von Spreckelsen, Architect
Echoing the existing Arche de Triomphe the Grande Arche is typically
bombastic for one of Mitterand´s Grand Projets. Unlike the earlier
Arche de Triomphe this 35-storey building contains offices located
over the formal axis of the Champs-Elysees. Despite the name the architect
is apparently Danish.
