Arc de Triomphe 凱旋門

Arc de Triomphe with flag.

It was almost dark outside when we walked out the Musee du Louvre around 10pm. Peggy and I had planned to visit the 3rd landmark of Paris—Arc de Triomphe. (The other two are Tour Eiffel and Musee du Louvre.) And we were too late for the last admission when we arrived at Arc de Triomphe, however, we still quite enjoyed the cool summer night in Paris and were busy in taking photos of Arc de Triomphe with French flag. (It is only because tomorrow will be France’s National Day.) Arc de Triomphe is the end of Avenue des Champs-Elysees and it was built by Napoleon in 1806.

當我和Peggy在晚上10點左右走出羅浮宮時,外頭已接近天黑了.我們照原訂計畫往巴黎的第三個地標—凱旋門前進(其他兩個地標是艾菲爾鐵塔和羅浮宮).而我們還是趕不及最後的參觀時間,不過,我們倒還滿享受有些涼意的巴黎夏夜和忙著替懸掛著法國國旗的凱旋門照相的樂趣(平常可沒有國旗喔!是因為明天是法國國慶日才掛的唷!)凱旋門是著名的香榭大道的盡頭而且是拿破崙在1806年時開始建造的.
