  • Le Paix de 1815, Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France.<br />
<br />
The arc stands in the center of the Place Charles de Gaulle, (also known as the Place de l'Étoile), at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. Officially, it is the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, as the smaller Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel exists nearby. The triumphal arch honors those who fought for France, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. On the inside and the top of the arc there are all of the names of generals and wars fought. Underneath is the tomb of the unknown soldier from World War I.<br />
<br />
The monument was designed by Jean Chalgrin in 1806, and its iconographic program pitted heroically nude French youths against bearded Germanic warriors in chain mail.

  • The ceiling and famed stained-glass windows of the Upper Chapel of Saint-Chapelle (holy chapel), Paris, France.<br />
<br />
The Sainte-Chapelle, the palatine chapel in the courtyard of the royal palace on the Île de la Cité, was built to house precious relics: Christ's crown of thorns, the Image of Edessa and thirty other relics of Christ that had been in the possession of Louis IX since August 1239, when it arrived from Venice in the hands of two Dominican friars. Unlike many devout aristocrats who stole relics, the saintly Louis bought his precious relics of the Passion, purchased from the Latin emperor at Constantinople, Baldwin II, for the exorbitant sum of 135,000 livres, which was paid to the Venetians, to whom it had been pawned.

  • The door, columns, and portico of the Panthéon, Paris, France.<br />
<br />
Originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve, after many changes the Pantheon now functions as a secular mausoleum containing the remains of distinguished French citizens. It is an early example of neoclassicism, with a façade modeled on the Pantheon in Rome, surmounted by a dome.

  • Manuscript in the Papal Palace (Palais des Papes), Avignon, France.<br />
<br />
Avignon became the residence of the Popes in 1309, when the Gascon Bertrand de Goth, as Pope Clement V, unwilling to face the violent chaos of Rome after his election in 1305, moved the Papal Curia to Avignon, a period known as the Avignon Papacy.

  • A door, Arles, France.<br />
<br />
Arles was first inhabited in the seventh century BC as a Phoenician trading center on the Rhone River, and shows signs of Greek influence owing to archaeological evidence and pottery of Greek design. Arles later became a Celtic-Ligurian town in the third century BC and, then in the first century BC, a Gallo-Roman city.<br />
<br />
The Roman-era arena similar to Rome's Coliseum is so well preserved that it is still the major arena of the city and is used for bullfighting and other traditional festivals.

  • Detail of the column at Place Vendôme, Paris, France.<br />
<br />
Place Vendôme was laid out in 1702 as a monument to the glory of the armies of Louis XIV.<br />
<br />
Napoleon erected the original column, modeled after Trajan's Column, to celebrate the victory of Austerlitz; its veneer of 425 spiraling bas-relief bronze plates were made out of cannon taken from the combined armies of Europe, according to his propaganda.<br />
<br />
The original column had been removed in the mid-1800s. In 1874, the column was re-erected at the center of Place Vendôme with a copy of the original statue on top.

  • Picasso Museum, Chateau Grimaldi, Antibes, France.<br />
<br />
In 1608 the Chateau Grimaldi became a stronghold of the Grimaldi family and has borne their name ever since. From 1702 it became the town hall of Antibes. From 1925 it was known as the Grimaldi Museum. In 1946, Pablo Picasso called the museum home for six months. It is the first museum in the world to be dedicated to the artist.<br />
<br />
Picasso himself donated works to the museum, most notably his paintings "The Goat" and "La Joie de Vivre."

  • The cryptoporticus of Arles was built during the first century BC as a foundation for the forum at the center of the Roman town. The forum has been replaced by two modern buildings: the Chapel of the Jesuit College and the City Hall. The cryptoporticus consists of three parallel tunnels arranged in a 'U' shape, which are supported by fifty pillars. Stonemasons' marks at the site suggest it was probably the work of Greeks living in Marseille at the time.<br />
