For whatever reason (there are myriad), the Arc de Triomphe has become the go-to emblem of Paris, and even France as a whole. On a par with the Eiffel Tower, it has arguably beaten the likes of Disneyland, Montmartre and the Moulin Rouge to this iconic status. So, what’s the big deal? Well, firstly, it’s not all about triomphe. The monument remembers those who fought and died in the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, which were a pretty big deal on this side of the Channel. What many don’t know is that a World War I tomb of an unknown soldier lies beneath the structure. The arch stands at the end of the famous Champs-Elysées (a big, nice road), and divides some of the most important arrondissements in the city. And, what’s more, we’ve got a whole bunch of exclusive Plum Guide homes in the area, so here's a list of 6 homes near the Arc de Triomphe that you should consider booking.
