The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is a triumphal arch in Paris, located in the Place du Carrousel on the site of the former Tuileries Palace. It was built to commemorate Napoleon's military victories. This Arc was modeled after the Arch of Septimus Severus in Rome and was designed and built by architects Charles Percier and Francois Fontaine between 1806-1808.
