ARC DE TRIOMPHE DU CARROUSEL


A group of elementary schoolchildren march triumphantly toward Napoleon's arch.
The Arc was completed in 1808 with the chariot and horses on top of the arch  "borrowed" from the Cathedral of St Mark in Venice by a victorious Napoleon.  They were graciously returned in 1815 and replaced by sculptures made by Baron Francois Joseph Bosio in 1828.

OJ - wonders if an arch dedicated to submarines will ever be built
