Description[]
Located on a high point that joins the 8th, 16th and 17th arrondissements of Paris, the Arc de Triomphe is approximately 50 metres high, 45 metres long and 22 metres wide.
Its facades feature several high reliefs, four of which are particularly well-known:
- The Departure of the Volunteers of 1792 (La Marseillaise), by François Rude. This sculpture features volunteers with the appearance of ancient heroes being urged to fight by a winged figure, an allegory of Victory.
- The Triumph of 1810, by Jean-Pierre Cortot. Using figures from antiquity and the allegory of Victory, it is a representation of the triumph of Napoleon Ist.
- The Resistance of 1814, by Antoine Étex.
- The Peace of 1815, by Antoine Étex.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Under the arch is the famous Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It is a tomb surrounded by black terminals linked together by black chains. It consists of a slab of Vire granite on which is inscribed an epitaph in honor of the soldier, as well as a cannon mouth placed in the center of a bronze shield where the Eternal Flame burns.
During important events, a French flag is displayed under the arch.

Trivia[]
- The Arc de Triomphe has been classified as a Historic Monument since 1896.
- In the series, the Arc de Triomphe has been important on several occasions:
- In "Pixelator", the monument was the main location of the fight between Ladybug and Cat Noir and the eponymous villain.
- In "Anansi", the eponymous villain held Alya hostage in a giant spider web before fighting Ladybug and Carapace under the arch. Due to the villain's punches to the monument, it collapsed on the villain and the superheroes, who were protected under Carapace's Shell-ter. Later, after destroying the villain's akumatized object with Cat Noir's Cataclysm and capturing and purifying the akuma, the Arc de Triomphe was returned to normal thanks to Ladybug's Miraculous Ladybug.
- In "Ladybug", the Arc de Triomphe's roof was the scene of the clash between Ladybug and Cat Noir and Mayura and her sentimonster. Later, after making her sentimonster betray her by giving her item containing the amok, Ladybug and Cat Noir were about to obtain the Peacock Miraculous, but were stopped by Hawk Moth who rescued Mayura.
- In "Optigami", the Arc de Triomphe was unknowingly teleported to the Moon by Kaalki.
- In "Penalteam", Penalty placed a soccer goal under the arch.
The golden statue of Chloé.
- In "Multiplication", the Arc de Triomphe was destroyed by Ikari Gozen's sword, but was later rebuilt thanks to Ladybug's Miraculous Ladybug.
- In "Pretension", Ladybug fought the copies of Matagi Gozen on the Arc de Triomphe's roof.
- In "Revolution", Chloé had a golden statue of herself built on the Arc de Triomphe. However, after being sent by her father to London with her mother, the statue was torn down.
