This arch is located at the western end of the Champs-Élysées in Paris, the capital of France, at Place Charles de Gaulle. Construction began in 1806, the year after Napoleon Bonaparte's victory over the Austrian-Russian allied forces at the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805, at Napoleon's command, and was completed 30 years later in 1836. ◇It is 50m high and 45m wide, and the walls feature reliefs depicting battles by Napoleon's army. Beneath the arch is the tomb of an unknown soldier who died in World War I. You can go up to the roof by elevator or stairs. When people talk about the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, they generally mean this one, but there are many other Arcs de Triomphe in Paris, such as the Porte du Carrousel, the Porte Saint-Denis, and the Porte Saint-Martin. For this reason, it is often called the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile. Its official name is the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile. Source: Kodansha World Tourist Attractions Encyclopedia Information |
フランスの首都パリのシャンゼリゼ通り西端、シャルル・ド・ゴール広場にある門。ナポレオン・ボナパルト率いるフランス軍が1805年にアウステルリッツの戦いでオーストリア・ロシア連合軍に勝利した記念として、その翌年の1806年にナポレオンの命令で建設が始まり、30年後の1836年に完成した。◇高さ50m、幅45mで、壁面はナポレオン軍の戦闘を描いたレリーフがあるほか、凱旋門の下には、第一次世界大戦で戦死した無名兵士の墓がある。エレベーターか階段で屋上に登ることができる。パリで凱旋門といえば、一般にこの凱旋門を指すが、パリ市内にはほかにカルーゼル門、サンドニ門、サンマルタン門など多数の凱旋門が存在する。このため「エトワール凱旋門」と呼ぶことも多い。正式名称は「エトワール広場の凱旋門」(Arc de triomphe de l'Etoile)。
