Description[]
Built in 1670, the square has a diameter of 241 meters for a surface area of 4.55 hectares. Divided between the 8th, 16th and 17th arrondissements of Paris, twelve large avenues of the capital emerge from it, including the famous Avenue des Champs-Élysées. These twelve avenues form six main axes, including the avenue des Champs-Élysées and avenue de la Grande-Armée, forming part of the Historical axis of Paris (Defense - Louvre Palace).
The square is best known for its central reserve on which the famous Arc de Triomphe was erected. The square itself has a pavement composed entirely of gray cobblestones, thus forming a roundabout in the Arc de Triomphe is the center.
Each end between two avenues is formed by a wooded island. There are sometimes Morris columns, bus stops, but also mouths of the Charles-de-Gaulle Étoiles station of the metro.
