About Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel

Paris is a city of iconic arches, and while the Arc de Triomphe gets all the glory, don't overlook its smaller, more intricately detailed cousin: the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. Nestled in the heart of the Louvre's courtyard, this rose marble arch, topped with a bronze chariot, is a stunning snapshot of Napoleonic grandeur. It perfectly frames the Louvre Pyramid, creating a breathtaking visual axis extending all the way to the other Arc de Triomphe. Take a moment to admire the bas-reliefs depicting Napoleon's victories – a little piece of history hidden in plain sight, and a fantastic photo op!
