“The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is a triumphal arch…built between 1806 and 1808 to commemorate Napoleon’s military victories of the previous year.
The more famous Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile, across from the Champs Élysées, was designed in the same year; it is about twice the size and was not completed until 1836. It is also an example of Corinthian style architecture.”
