The Arc de Triomphe

Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile isn't as famous as the Eiffel Tower. But it is one of the most famous monument in Paris. It is located at the Place Charles de Gaulle which is also known as the Place de l'Étoile. 

Something that draw my attention is the most famous and luxury street in Paris. Yeaa. It's Avenue des Champs-Élysées which is also located near this monument. I'm not even surprised that this place is crowded every day. Although in weekdays the cafe around this area still fully loaded with local people and tourist from around the world.
