What you'll see
A huge carved stone arch in the middle of a twelve-road roundabout. A tunnel takes you underneath to the eternal flame, and about 280 steps lead to a flat roof with views down the Champs-Élysées.
A brief history
Napoleon ordered it in 1806 to honour his armies; France's Unknown Soldier from the First World War has been buried beneath it since 1921.
