Upon its inauguration in 1875 the opera house was officially named the Academie Nationale de Musique..
roaming the street of Paris...
The Arc de Triomphe is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. It was commissioned in 1806 after the victory at Austerlitz by Emperor Napoleon at the peak of his fortunes.

The octagonal Place de la Concorde is the largest square in Paris. It is situated between theTuileries and the Champs-Elysees..

The Jardin des Tuileries is Paris's most central garden. It connects the Louvre with the Place de la Concorde and forms a part of the large central axis between the Louvre and La Defense.
The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is the smallest of the three arches on the Triumphal Way, the central axis between the Lourve and La Défense.

The construction was only meant to last for the duration of the Exposition, but it still stands today, despite all protests from contemporary artists who feared the construction would be the advent of structures without 'individuality' and despite the many people who feared that this huge 'object' would not fit into the architecture of Paris.Today, there is no such aversion anymore among the Parisians, and one could not imagine Paris without the Eiffel Tower, in fact it has become the symbol of the City of Light.
