View of Avenue Champs-Elysées with the Arc de Triomphe in the background, taken from Place de la Concorde, we can see the tip of the obelisk. At its center is a large golden flame, enhanced by two golden arches. The trees on either side are adorned with glittering golden star garlands in memory of the Unknown Soldier. Golden strokes symbolize the life that animates the most beautiful avenue in the world. Gilding Paris as `the city of light`.
