A long lovely avenue leads to this Arc which in turn leads to a park. Good photo opportunities. Nice cafes nearby. Not like the French Arc!! You'll like it! More

Different than the Arc in Paris. Both renovtions and a major sporting event were happening when we were there. More mosaic in finish and not as bid. Still very impressive. More
