This is intended to create a dialogue between modern art and historic architecture. It's still a cool place to visit!</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/72213316@N00/">Alaskan Dude</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/72213316@N00/55345729063/" title="More aimless wandering in Paris"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55345729063_a24de1e108_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="More aimless wandering in Paris" /></a></p> <p>This was our last full day in Paris.

Arrondissement / Muette<br /> <br /> The 16th arrondissement of Paris (le XVIe arrondissement; French pronunciation: [lə sɛzjɛm aʁɔ̃dismɑ̃]) is the westernmost of the 20 arrondissements of Paris, the capital city of France. Located on the city's Right Bank, it is adjacent to the 17th and 8th arrondissements to the northeast, as well as to the suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts-de-Seine to the southwest. Across the Seine are the 7th and 15th arrondissements.<br /> <br /> Notable sights of the 16th arrondissement include the Arc de Triomphe (at the junction with the 8th and 17th arrondissements) and the Place du Trocadéro, where the Palais de Chaillot stands. This complex is used for three museums and one theatre. Other museums and cultural venues are also located in this arrondissement, including the Louis Vuitton Foundation opened in 2014.<br /> <br /> With its ornate 19th-century buildings, large avenues, prestigious schools, museums, and various parks, the 16th arrondissement has long been known as one of French high society's favourite places of residence (comparable to London's Kensington and Chelsea or Berlin's Charlottenburg) to such an extent that the phrase le 16e has been associated with great wealth in French popular culture. Indeed, the 16th arrondissement of Paris is France's third-richest district for average household income, behind only its 7th arrondissement and the suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, both of which are adjacent.<br /> <br /> The 16th arrondissement hosts several large sporting venues, including: the Parc des Princes, which is the stadium where Paris Saint-Germain football club plays its home matches; Roland Garros Stadium, where the French Open tennis championships are held; and Stade Jean-Bouin, home to the Stade Français rugby union club and the football club Paris FC. The Bois de Boulogne, the second-largest public park in Paris (behind only the Bois de Vincennes), is also located in this arrondissement.<br /> <br /> History<br /> <br /> The 16th arrondissement was created by the Law of 16 June 1859 which incorporated the villages (now neighborhoods) of Auteuil, Passy and Chaillot into Paris; these villages had become communes after the French Revolution and had been in the Seine department ever since. When the law of 1859 was drafted, it was planned that these villages would form a new arrondissement that would be numbered the 13th arrondissement, but &quot;The rich and powerful moving in did not like the number. They pulled strings and became the 16th, the unlucky association and postmark being transferred to the blameless but less influential folks around Porte d'Italie.&quot;<br /> <br /> Geography<br /> <br /> The land area of this arrondissement is 16.305 km2 (6.295 sq mi or 4,029 acres), slightly more than half of which consists of the Bois de Boulogne park. Excluding the Bois de Boulogne, its land area is 7.846 km2 (3.029 sq mi or 1,939 acres). It is the largest arrondissement in Paris in terms of land area.<br /> <br /> The arrondissement consists of four quarters:<br /> <br /> Quartier Auteuil (61)<br /> Quartier Muette (62)<br /> Quartier Porte-Dauphine (63)<br /> Quartier Chaillot (64)<br /> <br /> Demographics and politics<br /> <br /> The population of the 16th arrondissement peaked in 1962, when it had 227,418 inhabitants. At the last census (2009), the population was 169,372. The 16th arrondissement contains a great deal of business activity; in 1999 it hosted 106,971 jobs.<br /> <br /> The 16th arrondissement is commonly thought to be one of the richest parts of Paris (as the saying Auteuil-Neuilly-Passy popularised); it features some of the most expensive real estate in France including the famous Auteuil &quot;villas&quot;; heirs to 19th century high-society country houses, they are exclusive gated communities with huge houses surrounded by gardens, which is extremely rare in Paris. It is also the only arrondissement in Paris to be divided into two separate postal codes. The southern part of the arrondissement carries a postal code of 75016, while the northern part has the code of 75116.<br /> <br /> Politics<br /> <br /> The 16th arrondissement used to be one of the strongest areas in the country for the French political right. At the 2017 French presidential election, for example, it gave over 58% of its votes in the first round to right-wing candidate François Fillon, compared to his national result of 20%.<br /> <br /> However, after the political realignment in French politics in the late 2010s, which saw emerging polarization between Emmanuel Macron’s centrist coalition and the populist-right National Rally, the 16th began breaking for Macronist parties like En Marche! and Renaissance by large margins. Both of the arrondissement’s current representatives in the National Assembly, for instance, are from Renaissance.<br /> <br /> Economy<br /> <br /> Notable companies that have their head offices in the arrondissement include Lacoste, PSA Peugeot Citroën and Lagardère.<br /> <br /> At one time Aérospatiale, Technip, Veolia and Lafarge also had their head offices in the arrondissement.<br /> <br /> Filming location<br /> <br /> In one of the opening scenes of the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball, character Emilio Largo is seen arriving at the headquarters of The International Brotherhood for the Assistance of Stateless Persons. This scene was shot on Avenue d'Eylau in the 16th arrondissement.<br /> <br /> The 1972 film Last Tango in Paris was filmed at various locations in the 16th arrondissement, with the apartment the characters stayed in being located in Passy.<br /> <br /> A scene of the 2018 action film Mission: Impossible – Fallout was filmed under the elevated Métro station Passy in the arrondissement. Other scenes of the film included ones shot at the Grand Palais (8th arrondissement) and under the Cité de la mode et du design on the Seine (13th arrondissement).<br /> <br /> Several scenes of the Netflix series Emily in Paris were filmed in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. The district's residential streets and characteristic Haussmannian architecture were used as filming locations for the show.<br /> <br /> (Wikpedia)<br /> <br /> Das 16. Arrondissement von Paris (französisch 16e arrondissement de Paris, auch XVIe arrondissement de Paris, arrondissement de Passy) ist eines von 20 Stadtbezirken. Es befindet sich auf dem rechten Seine-Ufer. Das Viertel wird gemeinhin auch arrondissement de Passy genannt, nach dem Namen der alten Gemeinde, die im Jahr 1860 nach Paris eingemeindet wurde.<br /> <br /> Zusammen mit dem 7. Arrondissement und dem Vorort Neuilly-sur-Seine gen Westen bildet es das teuerste und wohlhabendste Residenzviertel Frankreichs. Hier befindet sich die gesicherte Wohnanlage Villa Montmorency, in der bekannte Persönlichkeiten aus Showbusiness, Wirtschaft und Politik residieren. Zudem werden die Quartiere, welche den Bois de Boulogne umgrenzen, auch mit Neuilly-Auteuil-Passy beschrieben, welches das einheitliche Viertel zwischen dem Arrondissement und dem Vorort Neuilly-sur-Seine umfasst. Im französischen Sprachgebrauch wird das 16. Arrondissement sinnbildlich auch als Begriff für (bürgerliche) Eleganz und Reichtum verwendet.<br /> <br /> Allgemeines<br /> <br /> Es grenzt an die Gemeinden Neuilly-sur-Seine und Boulogne-Billancourt. Seinen Westteil bildet der Bois de Boulogne, der etwas mehr als die Hälfte der Fläche des Arrondissements einnimmt. Der 16. Arrondissement befindet sich vis-à-vis des Eiffelturms. Das Maison de Radio France, der Trocadéro, die Jardins du Trocadéro, die Rue de Passy, die Avenue Victor-Hugo, der Prinzenpark, die Rue d’Auteuil, die Avenue du Président Kennedy, der Boulevard Exelmans, die Rue Michel-Ange und die Rue Molitor sind die bekanntesten Lokalitäten im 16. Arrondissement. Es gilt als schönster Stadtteil und einer mit den höchsten Mietpreisen in Paris. Hier haben sich zahlreiche Botschaften angesiedelt. Der Süden des Arrondissements ist ein Villenviertel. Das Rathaus steht in der Avenue Henri-Martin. In Passy steht auch das Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris. Am südlichen Rand des Bois de Boulogne steht das Stade Roland Garros, wo jährlich das Grand-Slam-Turnier French Open stattfindet.<br /> <br /> Im Arrondissement gibt es fünf staatliche Gymnasien: Janson de Sailly, Jean-Baptiste Say, La Fontaine, Molière und Claude Bernard. Auf dem Cimetière de Passy sind zahlreiche prominente Personen beigesetzt. Aufgrund seiner Größe ist es das einzige Arrondissement von Paris, das zwei verschiedene Postleitzahlen hat.<br /> <br /> Die Avenues Henri-Martin und Georges-Mandel markieren die Grenze zwischen beiden Bereichen. Das 16. ist gleichmäßig in zwei Wahlkreise aufgeteilt, den 15. und 16. Wahlkreis. Sie stimmen mit der Aufteilung des Arrondissements in Süd und Nord überein und werden derzeit durch Sandrine Boëlle beziehungsweise Brigitte Kuster (LR) vertreten. Von 1989 bis 2008 war Pierre-Christian Taittinger, Minister und Senator a. D., Bürgermeister des Arrondissements.<br /> <br /> Im Quartier de Chaillot an der Rue Copernic befindet sich zudem eine der ältesten Reformsynagogen Frankreichs, die 1907 gegründete Synagoge der Rue Copernic. Die Synagogengemeinde gilt bis heute als die führende und sichtbarste im französischen Reformjudentum. Die Synagoge wurde im Jahr 1941 bei einem Bombenangriff sowie im Jahr 1980 bei einem palästinensischen Terroranschlag zweimal in ihrer Geschichte schwer beschädigt. Zu den mit der Synagoge verbundenen Persönlichkeiten gehören unter anderen Arnold Schoenberg, der 1933 hier seine Rückkehr zum Judentum vollzog, und auch Simone Veil.<br /> <br /> Bevölkerungsdichte<br /> <br /> Im Jahr 2020 wohnten im Arrondissement 162.820 Menschen auf 16,4 Quadratkilometern, das bedeutet 9.946 Einwohner pro Quadratkilometer.<br /> <br /> Berühmte Adressen<br /> <br /> In Populärkultur und Gedächtnis der Stadt zählen vor allem die folgenden Straßenzüge als begehrt:<br /> <br /> Rue Benjamin Franklin (Georges Clemenceau)<br /> Rue Desbordes-Valmore (Félicien-César David, Jacques Félix Duban)<br /> Avenue Foch (Henry Bataille, Maria Callas, Fernandel, Octave Mirbeau u. v. a.)<br /> Avenue Georges-Mandel (Maria Callas, Edmond de Polignac, Winnaretta Singer)<br /> Avenue Henri-Martin (Alphonse de Lamartine, Paul Louis Weiss)<br /> Avenue Kléber (Königin Isabella II., Henri Busser)<br /> Rue de Longchamp (Théophile Gautier, Camille Saint-Saëns)<br /> Rue de Passy (Heinrich Heine, George du Maurier, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon)<br /> Rue de la Pompe (Brigitte Bardot, Julien Green, Jules Janin)<br /> Rue Raynouard (Honoré de Balzac, Pierre-Jean de Béranger, Benjamin Franklin, Alfred de Musset, Auguste Perret)<br /> Rue de la Tour (Rose Chéri, Jean Jaurès, Jean Richepin)<br /> Avenue Victor-Hugo (Victor Hugo, Lysius Salomon)<br /> <br /> In der Rue Berton (früher Rue du Roc) lag der Hinterausgang von Balzacs Anwesen an der Rue Raynouard, über den der Schriftsteller die Flucht antrat, wenn seine Gläubiger ihm zu Leibe rückten.<br /> <br /> Eine weitere begehrte Adresse im 16. Arrondissement war seit jeher die im alten Dorf Auteuil gelegene Verlängerung der Rue Raynouard, die Rue La Fontaine. Hier wurde unter anderem der Schriftsteller Marcel Proust geboren.<br /> <br /> Das Haus mit der Nummer 2 in der Rue de Franqueville diente als Kulisse in dem Film Der diskrete Charme der Bourgeoisie von Luis Buñuel. Im ersten Stock direkt über der schmiedeeisernen Hauseingangstür befindet sich im Film die Privatwohnung von Botschafter Don Rafael (Fernando Rey).<br /> <br /> Literarische Bedeutung<br /> <br /> Der Nestor-Burma-Roman Das stille Gold der alten Dame (französisch Pas de bavards à la Muette) von Léo Malet spielt im 16. Arrondissement.<br /> <br /> (Wikipedia)</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/155081845@N07/">jdel5978</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/155081845@N07/55344098882/" title="FWH#37"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55344098882_6fa0a9034a_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="FWH#37" /></a></p> <p>Paris (F)</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/72213316@N00/">Alaskan Dude</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/72213316@N00/55344107562/" title="Saint Sulpice Church in Paris"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55344107562_cb6b909e43_m.jpg" width="240" height="152" alt="Saint Sulpice Church in Paris" /></a></p> <p>We were in the area when it started to drizzle.

It is located at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, at the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle—formerly known as the Place de l'Étoile—named for the star-shaped configuration formed by the convergence of twelve radiating avenues. The monument is situated at the intersection of three arrondissements: the 16th (to the south and west), the 17th (to the north), and the 8th (to the east). Commissioned to honor those who fought and died for France during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the Arc bears the names of French victories and generals engraved on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I, marked by an eternal flame commemorating unidentified fallen soldiers.<br /> <br /> The central cohesive element of the Axe historique (&quot;historical axis&quot;, a sequence of monuments and grand thoroughfares on a route running from the courtyard of the Louvre to the Grande Arche de la Défense), the Arc de Triomphe was designed by Jean-François Chalgrin in 1806; its iconographic programme depicts heroically nude warriors and set the tone for public monuments with triumphant patriotic messages. Inspired by the Arch of Titus in Rome, the Arc de Triomphe has an overall height of 49.54 m (162.5 ft), width of 44.82 m (147.0 ft) and depth of 22.21 m (72.9 ft), while its large vault is 29.19 m (95.8 ft) high and 14.62 m (48.0 ft) wide. The smaller transverse vaults are 18.68 m (61.3 ft) high and 8.44 m (27.7 ft) wide.<br /> <br /> Paris's Arc de Triomphe was the tallest triumphal arch until the completion of the Monumento a la Revolución in Mexico City in 1938, which is 67 m (220 ft) high. The Arch of Triumph in Pyongyang, completed in 1982, is modeled on the Arc de Triomphe and is slightly taller at 60 m (197 ft). The Grande Arche in La Défense near Paris is 110 m (361 ft) high, and, if considered to be a triumphal arch, is the world's tallest.<br /> <br /> History<br /> <br /> Construction and late 19th century<br /> <br /> The Arc de Triomphe is located on the right bank of the Seine at the centre of a dodecagonal configuration of twelve radiating avenues.<br /> <br /> It was commissioned in 1806, after the victory at Austerlitz by Emperor Napoleon at the peak of his fortunes. Laying the foundations alone took two years and, in 1810, when Napoleon entered Paris from the west with his new bride, Archduchess Marie-Louise of Austria, he had a wooden mock-up of the completed arch constructed. The architect, Jean-François Chalgrin, died in 1811 and the work was taken over by Louis-Robert Goust.<br /> <br /> During the Bourbon Restoration, construction was halted until 1823, and it would not be completed until the reign of Louis Philippe I in 1836, by architects Louis-Robert Goust and Jean-Nicolas Huyot, under the direction of Louis-Étienne Héricart de Thury, then by Guillaume-Abel Blouet. The final cost was reported at about 10 million francs (equivalent to an estimated €65 million or $75 million in 2020).<br /> <br /> Various designs were proposed to crown the monument with a monumental sculptural group, yet none was permanently realized. In 1838, Bernard Seurre submitted La France victorieuse (&quot;Victorious France&quot;), depicting a chariot drawn by six horses. In 1840, this proposal gave way to a temporary sculptural group representing Napoleon I, installed above the arch by the architect Guillaume-Abel Blouet for the return of the Emperor's remains. In preparing this installation, Blouet returned to a scheme he had drafted in 1834, modifying it by substituting the originally intended allegorical figure of France with that of the Emperor.<br /> <br /> From 1882 to 1886, a quadriga by Alexandre Falguière was erected above the arch. The work, entitled Triomphe de la Révolution (&quot;The Triumph of the Revolution&quot;), depicted a chariot drawn by horses advancing &quot;to crush Anarchy and Despotism&quot;. Executed in plaster, the group was hoisted to the summit of the monument in order to assess its visual effect. The result was judged unconvincing; although the sculpture remained in place for four years, its material deteriorated under exposure to the elements and it was ultimately removed. Following this episode, the proposal to crown the monument was ultimately abandoned.<br /> <br /> 20th century<br /> <br /> It is said that on the day the Battle of Verdun began in 1916, the sword carried by the figure of the Republic in La Marseillaise sculptural group broke off. The relief was immediately hidden by tarpaulins to conceal the accident and avoid any undesired ominous interpretations. On 7 August 1919, three weeks after the Paris victory parade marking the end of hostilities in World War I, Charles Godefroy flew his Nieuport biplane under the arch's primary vault, with the event captured on newsreel. Jean Navarre was the pilot who was tasked to make the flight, but he died on 10 July 1919 when he crashed near Villacoublay while training for the flight.<br /> <br /> Following its construction, the Arc de Triomphe became the rallying point of French troops parading after successful military campaigns and for the annual Bastille Day military parade. Famous victory marches around or under the Arc have included the Germans in 1871, the French and Allies in 1919, the Germans in 1940, and the French and Allies in 1944[16] and 1945. After the interment of the Unknown Soldier, however, all military parades (including the aforementioned post-1919) have avoided marching through the actual arch. The route taken is up to the arch and then around its side, out of respect for the tomb and its symbolism. Both Adolf Hitler in 1940 and Charles de Gaulle in 1944 observed this custom.<br /> <br /> By the early 1960s, the monument had grown very blackened from coal soot and automobile exhaust, and during 1965–1966 it was cleaned through bleaching. In the prolongation of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, a new arch, the Grande Arche de la Défense, was built in 1982, completing the line of monuments that forms Paris's Axe historique. After the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel and the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, the Grande Arche is the third arch built on the same perspective.<br /> <br /> In 1995, the Armed Islamic Group of Algeria placed a bomb near the Arc de Triomphe which wounded 17 people as part of a campaign of bombings.<br /> <br /> On 12 July 1998, when France won the FIFA World Cup for the first time after defeating Brazil 3–0 at the Stade de France, images of the players including double goal scorer Zinedine Zidane and their names along with celebratory messages were projected onto the arch.<br /> <br /> 21st century<br /> <br /> In late 2018, the Arc de Triomphe suffered acts of vandalism during the yellow vests protests. A crowd of demonstrators sprayed the monument with graffiti and ransacked its museum. In September 2021, the Arc was wrapped in a silvery blue fabric and red rope, as part of L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, a posthumous project planned by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude since the early 1960s.<br /> <br /> Design<br /> <br /> Monument<br /> <br /> The astylar design is by Jean-François Chalgrin (1739–1811), in the Neoclassical version of ancient Roman architecture. Among the major French academic sculptors represented on the Arc de Triomphe are Jean-Pierre Cortot, François Rude, Antoine Étex, James Pradier, and Henri Lemaire.<br /> <br /> The main sculptures are not integral friezes but are treated as independent trophies applied to the vast ashlar masonry masses, not unlike the gilt-bronze appliqués on Empire furniture. The four sculptural groups at the base of the Arc are The Triumph of 1810 (by Jean-Pierre Cortot), The Resistance of 1814 and The Peace of 1815 (both by Antoine Étex), and the most renowned of them all, The Departure of the Volunteers of 1792, commonly called La Marseillaise (by François Rude). The face of the allegorical representation of France calling forth her people on this last was used as the belt buckle for the honorary rank of Marshal of France. The sculptures representing Triumph, Resistance and Peace commemorate Napoleon's victories, the invasion of France in 1814, and the end of hostilities in 1815.<br /> <br /> On the attic above the richly sculptured frieze of soldiers are 30 shields engraved with the names of major French victories in the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars. The inside walls of the monument list the names of 660 officers, among which are 558 French generals of the First French Empire; the names of those killed in battle are underlined. Also inscribed, on the shorter sides of the four supporting columns, are the names of the major French victories in the Napoleonic Wars. Battles that took place during the Hundred Days are not included.<br /> <br /> Inside the monument, a permanent exhibition, conceived by artist Maurice Benayoun and architect Christophe Girault, opened in February 2007.<br /> <br /> Tomb of the Unknown Soldier<br /> <br /> Beneath the Arc is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I. Interred on Armistice Day 1920, an eternal flame burns in memory of the dead who were never identified (now in both world wars).<br /> <br /> A ceremony is held at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier every 11 November on the anniversary of the Armistice of 11 November 1918 signed by the Entente Powers and Germany in 1918. It was originally decided on 12 November 1919 to bury the unknown soldier's remains in the Panthéon, but a public letter-writing campaign led to the decision to bury him beneath the Arc de Triomphe. The coffin was put in the chapel on the first floor of the Arc on 10 November 1920, and put in its final resting place on 28 January 1921. The slab on top bears the inscription: Ici repose un soldat français mort pour la Patrie, 1914–1918 (&quot;Here rests a French soldier who died for the Fatherland, 1914–1918&quot;).<br /> <br /> In 1961, U.S. President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy paid their respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, accompanied by President Charles de Gaulle. After the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy, Mrs. Kennedy remembered the eternal flame at the Arc de Triomphe and requested that an eternal flame be placed next to her husband's grave at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.<br /> <br /> Details<br /> <br /> The four main sculptural groups on each of the Arc's pillars are:<br /> <br /> The Departure of the Volunteers of 1792, also called La Marseillaise, by François Rude (southern façade, right). This sculptural group celebrates the cause of the French First Republic during the Battle of Valmy. Above the volunteers is the winged personification of Liberty. The group served as a recruitment tool in the early months of World War I and encouraged the French to invest in war loans in 1915–1916.<br /> <br /> The Triumph of 1810, by Jean-Pierre Cortot (southern façade, left). This group celebrates the Treaty of Schönbrunn and features Napoleon, crowned by the goddess of Victory.<br /> <br /> The Resistance of 1814, by Antoine Étex (northern façade, right). This group commemorates the French Resistance to the Allied Armies during the War of the Sixth Coalition.<br /> <br /> The Peace of 1815, by Antoine Étex (northern façade, left). This group commemorates the Treaty of Paris, concluded in that year.<br /> <br /> Six reliefs sculpted on the façades of the arch, representing important moments of the French Revolution and of the Napoleonic era include:<br /> <br /> The Battle of Aboukir, 25 July 1799, by Bernard Seurre (southern façade, left).<br /> <br /> The Funeral of General Marceau, 21 September 1796, by Henri Lemaire (southern façade, right).<br /> <br /> The Battle of Jemappes, 6 November 1792, by Carlo Marochetti (eastern façade).<br /> <br /> The Capture of Alexandria, 3 July 1798, by John-Étienne Chaponnière (northern façade, left).<br /> <br /> The Crossing of the Arcole Bridge, 15 November 1796, by Jean-Jacques Feuchère (northern façade, right).<br /> <br /> The Battle of Austerlitz, 2 December 1805, by Théodore Gechter (western façade).<br /> <br /> The names of 158 battles fought by the French First Republic and the First French Empire are engraved on the monument. Among them, 30 battles are engraved on the attic.<br /> <br /> 96 battles are engraved on the inner façades, under the great arches.<br /> <br /> The names of 660 military leaders who served during the French First Republic and the First French Empire are engraved on the inner façades of the small arches. Underlined names signify those who died on the battlefield.<br /> <br /> The spandrels of the great arches are decorated with allegorical figures representing characters in Roman mythology (by James Pradier).<br /> <br /> Access<br /> <br /> The Arc de Triomphe is accessible by the RER and Métro, with the closest stop being the Charles de Gaulle–Étoile station. Due to heavy traffic on the roundabout of which the Arc is the centre, pedestrians use two underpasses accessible from the Champs-Élysées and the Grande Armée avenues. A spiral stairway with 240 steps leads visitors to the museum level in the attic of the monument, where large models of the Arc and interactive exhibits on its history, construction, and cultural significance are displayed. Another 40 steps lead to the rooftop terrace, offering a panoramic view of Paris. Elevators providing access to the museum and rooftop terrace are available.<br /> <br /> The location of the Arc, as well as the Place de l'Étoile, is shared between three arrondissements: the 16th (to the south and west), the 17th (to the north), and the 8th (to the east).<br /> <br /> Replicas<br /> <br /> While many structures around the world resemble the Arc de Triomphe, some were actually inspired by it. Replicas that used its design as a model include the Rosedale World War I Memorial Arch in Kansas City, United States (1924); the Arcul de Triumf in Bucharest, Romania (1936); the Arch of Triumph in Pyongyang, North Korea (1982); a miniature version at the Paris Casino in Las Vegas, United States (1999); and the Simpang Lima Gumul Monument in Kediri, Indonesia (2008).<br /> <br /> (Wikipedia)<br /> <br /> Der Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile (dt. Triumphbogen an der Place de l’Étoile) oder kurz Arc de Triomphe ist ein von 1806 bis 1836 errichtetes Denkmal im Zentrum der Place Charles de Gaulle in Paris.<br /> <br /> Das Bauwerk gehört zu den Wahrzeichen der Metropole und wird vom Centre des monuments nationaux (dt. Zentrum für nationale Monumente) verwaltet, das dem Ministerium für Kultur untersteht.<br /> <br /> Unter dem Triumphbogen liegt das Grabmal des unbekannten Soldaten aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg mit der täglich gewarteten Ewigen Flamme, im Französischen Flamme du Souvenir (dt. Flamme der Erinnerung) genannt, im Gedenken an die Toten, die nie identifiziert wurden. Das ganze Jahr hindurch finden Kranzniederlegungen und Ehrungen statt, die ihren Höhepunkt in der Parade am 11. November finden, dem Jahrestag des Waffenstillstands von Compiègne im Jahr 1918.<br /> <br /> Für Fußgänger ist der Arc de Triomphe nur durch eine Unterführung erreichbar; der Triumphbogen verfügt über eine Aussichtsplattform.<br /> <br /> Der Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile ist nicht zu verwechseln mit dem weniger bekannten und kleineren Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, der sich zwischen dem Palais du Louvre und dem Jardin des Tuileries befindet.<br /> <br /> Geschichte<br /> <br /> Der Triumphbogen diente dem Ruhm der kaiserlichen Armeen und wird von manchen pathetisch als „Altar des Vaterlandes“ bezeichnet, denn an diesem Ort finden die feierlichsten staatlichen Zeremonien Frankreichs statt; häufig führen Festumzüge von hier aus die Avenue des Champs Élysées hinunter oder enden mit dem Arc de Triomphe als Ziel.<br /> <br /> Er steht im Zentrum der Place Charles de Gaulle (bis 1970 Place de l’Étoile), am westlichen Ausläufer der Avenue des Champs Élysées. Er ist Teil der „historischen Achse“, einer Reihe von Monumenten und großen Straßen, die aus Paris herausführen. Zwölf Avenuen gehen sternförmig von diesem Triumphbogen ab. Die heutige Form des Platzes entstand 1854, war in Grundzügen aber bereits seit dem späten 18. Jahrhundert so ähnlich angelegt worden, wenn auch nur mit vier Straßen.<br /> <br /> Der Triumphbogen selbst wurde von Kaiser Napoleon I. nach der Schlacht bei Austerlitz zur Verherrlichung seiner Siege 1806 in Auftrag gegeben. Am 15. August 1806 wurde der Grundstein zum Bau gelegt. Zwei Jahre dauerte der Bau der Fundamente. 1810 erhoben sich die vier Pylonen des Triumphbogens aber erst bis zu einer Höhe von 1 m. Napoleon heiratete am 1. April 1810 die habsburgische Prinzessin Marie-Louise; er ließ dazu ein provisorisches Modell des Triumphbogens aus Holz und Stuck in originaler Größe errichten. Ähnlich dem Elefanten der Bastille stand diese Ehrenpforte längere Zeit. Der Triumphbogen wurde (anders als der Elefant) letztlich fertiggestellt.<br /> <br /> Als der zuständige Architekt Jean-François Chalgrin im Januar 1811 gestorben war und Napoleon am 6. April 1814 abdankte, wurden die Bauarbeiten gestoppt. Louis XVIII. ließ sie 1824 unter der Leitung von Héricart de Thury fortsetzen. 1830 entschied sich König Louis-Philippe I. (oft Bürgerkönig genannt), zur napoleonischen Konzeption zurückzukehren. Er und Adolphe Thiers entschieden über den figurativen Schmuck und seine Ausführenden. Der Bogen wurde 1836 von Huyot und Blouet fertiggestellt. Am 25. Juni 1836 schoss ein 26-jähriger Anarchist namens Louis Alibaud auf die Kutsche des Königs und verfehlte ihn nur knapp. Der König beschloss daraufhin, nicht an der geplanten großen Militärparade teilzunehmen, die am 29. Juli zur Erinnerung an den sechsten Jahrestag der Julirevolution von 1830 und zur Einweihung des Bogens stattfinden sollte.<br /> <br /> Jean Navarre, ein Fliegerass im Ersten Weltkrieg, hatte den Plan, am 14. Juli 1919 bei einer Siegesparade durch den Triumphbogen zu fliegen. Navarre stürzte aber am 10. Juli 1919 beim Üben für diesen Flug ab und starb. Am 7. August 1919 durchflog Charles Godefroy mit einer Nieuport 11 „Bébé“ den Triumphbogen. Im Oktober 1981 flog Alain Marchand durch den Triumphbogen.<br /> <br /> Der Rundkurs der letzten Kilometer der Schlussetappe der Tour de France, die seit 1975 auf der Avenue des Champs Élysées endet, umrundet den Arc de Triomphe. Bis 2013 führte der Rundkurs direkt vor dem Arc de Triomphe eine Wende aus (und umkreiste ihn somit nicht).<br /> <br /> Am Abend des 9. Januar 2015 wurden die Worte „Paris est Charlie“ auf den Triumphbogen projiziert. Die Parole, eine Abwandlung von „Je suis Charlie“, war ein Bekenntnis zu den demokratischen Werten der Meinungs- und Pressefreiheit und eine Solidaritätsbekundung mit den Mitarbeitern des Satiremagazins Charlie Hebdo, die von islamistischen Attentätern erschossen worden waren.<br /> <br /> Am 1. Dezember 2018 wurde die Figur der Marianne am Triumphbogen schwer beschädigt, als es im Zuge der Protestaktionen der Gelbwestenbewegung zu schweren Ausschreitungen kam.<br /> <br /> Beschreibung<br /> <br /> Der Triumphbogen ist 49,54 m hoch, 44,82 m breit und 22,21 m tief. Der große Gewölbebogen misst 29,19 m in der Höhe und 14,62 m in der Breite, der kleine Bogen 18,68 m in der Höhe und 8,44 m in der Breite. Der Entwurf ist im Stil der antiken römischen Architektur gehalten. Die vier Figurengruppen an der Basis des Bogens zeigen Der Auszug der Freiwilligen von 1792, allgemein bekannt als Die Marseillaise (von François Rude), Der Triumph von 1810 (Jean-Pierre Cortot), Der Widerstand von 1814 und Der Frieden von 1815 (Antoine Étex). Oben sind auf den Flächen rund um den Bogen Flachreliefs mit Nachbildungen von wichtigen revolutionären und napoleonischen Siegen eingelassen. Die Innenwände des Triumphbogens beherbergen ein kleines Museum.<br /> <br /> Inschriften<br /> <br /> Die Innenwände des Triumphbogens führen die Namen von:<br /> <br /> 660 Militärs – Die meisten davon waren Generäle der Ersten Französischen Republik (1792–1804) und des Ersten Kaiserreichs (1804–1815). Unterstrichene Namen kennzeichnen Personen, die im Kampf gefallen sind.<br /> <br /> 158 Schlachten – Die 30 bedeutendsten Schlachten Napoleons beginnend mit Valmy sind zuoberst auf dem Fries in fast 50 Metern Höhe zu sehen, während 128 weitere Kriegsereignisse auf den Pfeilern zu finden sind. Verzeichnet sind nur siegreiche Schlachten.<br /> <br /> Reliefs<br /> <br /> Berühmt ist der Triumphbogen auch wegen der bedeutenden Reliefs, die er trägt. Sie wurden 1833 bei den Bildhauern Antoine Étex, Jean-Pierre Cortot und vor allem François Rude in Auftrag gegeben.<br /> <br /> Die Ostfassade zeigt das berühmteste Relief, die Marseillaise (dt. Auszug der Freiwilligen von 1792) von Rude, die auch Le chant du départ, also das Abschiedslied, genannt wird. Es stellt eine Gruppe ausziehender Krieger dar, die in offensichtlich revolutionärer oder erhoben nationaler Gesinnung – zumindest kann man das in dieser Szene vermuten – das neue Revolutionslied der Marseillaise auf den Lippen haben, das erst am 25. April 1792 komponiert worden war.<br /> <br /> François Rude übertrifft mit dem heroischen Schwung seiner Darstellung die seiner Konkurrenten auf diesem Triumphbogen bei weitem. Er begann als akademischer Klassizist, aber mit diesem seinem bekanntesten Werk vollzog Rude als einer der ersten die Abkehr vom Klassizismus und die Hinwendung zur Romantik, zu einer neuen heroischen Leidenschaftlichkeit in der Bildhauerei, ähnlich wie Eugène Delacroix in der Malerei.<br /> <br /> Interessant ist ein Vergleich der beiden Reliefs dieser Seite. Es handelt sich auf der anderen Seite um den „Triumph Napoleons nach dem Frieden von 1810“ (der „Triumph“ verherrlicht den Frieden von Wien) von Jean-Pierre Cortot. Das Relief von Cortot steht noch ganz in der Tradition der klassizistischen Statik, der gemessenen Heldenverehrung, des symmetrischen, wohlproportionierten Bildaufbaus – mit anderen Worten der „erhabenen Langeweile“.<br /> <br /> Auch bei den Reliefs von Antoine Etex auf der Westseite ist diese Atmosphäre deutlich zu spüren, beispielsweise beim „Frieden“. Hier hat man noch den Eindruck, dass die Themen von einer Schauspielertruppe auf einer Theaterbühne dargestellt werden, dass hier Motive aus dem Arsenal zusammengestellt worden sind.<br /> <br /> Auf den vier Außenseiten des Bogens befinden sich sechs Flachreliefs, die jeweils berühmte Schlachten zeigen. Unter den sechs Bildhauern ist auch Jean-Jacques Feuchère mit einer Darstellung des Übergangs über die Brücke von Arcole zu sehen.<br /> <br /> Kunst<br /> <br /> Das Künstlerpaar Christo und Jeanne-Claude beabsichtigte, das Bauwerk im Zeitraum vom 19. September 2020 für 16 Tage bis zum 4. Oktober 2020 für seine Kunstaktion L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped (Project for Paris, Place de l’Étoile – Charles de Gaulle) zu verhüllen. Christo verstarb jedoch am 31. Mai 2020. Seinem Wunsch gemäß wurde das Projekt, dessen erste Pläne aus den 1960er Jahren stammten, von seinem Neffen postum umgesetzt. Die Verhüllung war nach zweimonatiger Vorbereitungsarbeit am 18. September fertiggestellt und dauerte bis zum 3. Oktober 2021. Eingesetzt wurden 25.000 Quadratmeter Stoff und 3.000 Meter rote Seile, die jeweils weiterverwendet werden.<br /> <br /> Rezeption<br /> <br /> Während viele Bauwerke auf der ganzen Welt dem Arc de Triomphe ähneln, wurden einige tatsächlich von ihm inspiriert. Bekannte Beispiele sind der Triumphbogen in Bukarest und der Triumphbogen in Pjöngjang. Zusätzlich zu diesen Nachahmungen gibt es noch weitere Bögen und Denkmäler weltweit, die vom Arc de Triomphe beeinflusst wurden, sei es in Bezug auf das Design, die Größe oder die verwendete Architektur.<br /> <br /> (Wikipedia)</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/airlines470/">airlines470</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/airlines470/55345345190/" title="REGIO 2N Z 57000 / Z 57075/76 N°038R SNCF IDF MOBILITES PARIS GARE DE LYON"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55345345190_efa748dd9a_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="REGIO 2N Z 57000 / Z 57075/76 N°038R SNCF IDF MOBILITES PARIS GARE DE LYON" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/liminaire/">marellezap</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/liminaire/55343994997/" title="IMG_8279"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55343994997_926f606432_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="IMG_8279" /></a></p> <p></p>
