If there is one road not to be missed in Paris it has to be this one; Walk from the largest and the most famous museum in the world (Louvre) through one of the most fashionable shopping avenue (Champ Elysees) to Arc De Triomphe is truely spectacular. It connects the heart of ancient Paris to modern day La Defense with Arc De Triomphe standing as a gate way. Coming from India, this thriumphal arc looks very similar to our own India Gate. It was built to commemorate soldiers who fought for France during Napolean's reign. Today it stands magnificiently amid a huge road intersection leading to four most important landmarks of Paris that define the city: The Eiffel Tower, Moulin Rouge, Louvre and La Defense.
