	Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is a triumphal arch in Paris, France.
		The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is at the easternmost end of the so-called "Axe historique" ("grand historic axis") of Paris, a nine-kilometre long linear route which dominates central and western Paris.
		At the time the Arc du Carrousel was built, however, Place du Carrousel fronted the central block of the Palace of the Tuileries, whose long range blocked off the axial view, which originally began from the Tuileries' central garden axis on the farther, west-facing side.

		The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel (firmly anchored to the tradition of the ancient triumphal arches) was built by Percier and Fontaine in circa 1806 to 1808 to celebrate the Napoleonic victories of 1805, and it was originally intended as a monumental entrance to the Tuileries palace.
		When that palace was destroyed by fire in 1871, it was generally agreed that the arch stood well on its own; nor was the palace greatly missed in that an exceptional view of the Champs-Elysées had been opened up.
