It starts from the Triumphal Arch -built to the glory of the French Armies- that houses the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. On top of it (it is 50-meter high), the view will carry you away ! Then, it goes along the Concorde Square where you could see the 19th century exhibition centre of Paris -le Grand Palais- (that features varied exhibitions all year long) and the 19th century small exhibition centre of Paris -le Petit Palais - (that houses the Museum of Fine Arts and Architecture of Paris).
