Description
English: Grande Arche de la Défense is a 110m cube, which was inaugurated on 14 July 1989 to mark the bicentennial of the French Revolution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grande_Arche). The Champs-Élysées runs from the Luxor obelisk near the Louvre to the Arc de Triomphe, and the road continues in a straight line along Avenue de la Grande Armée and then Avenue Charles de Gaulle to reach Défense - thus looking through the cube, the Arc de Triomphe and the Luxor obelisk all line up. This photo was taken in May 1990. less than a year after its inauguration. It's in a business district that also houses government buildings.
