Top 10 Monuments & Statues in Champs-Elysées Quartier, Ile-de-France
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

L'Harmonie Triomphant de la Discorde, or The Triumphant Harmony of Discord, is a beautifully made work of art, standing at the top of one end of the Grand Palais. There is another similar sculpture at the other end, called Immortality Advancing Time. Both are allegorical works of art. They are quite striking and are certainly worth stopping for.

I cannot tell a more appropriate place for the Unknown soldier tomb than this one beneath the Triumphal Arch. It is adorned with an eternal flame and ever present flowers. To reach it please use the underground passageway, do not try to run across the Etoile. Great views of Champs Elysees.

I first noticed it when we had to exit at the Concorde metro due to the strikes. The column is quite tall and stood out from the rest of the area. Aside from the golden top, there was also golden writing near the base. I wasn't able to take a look since we were on the way to Versaille. It is also in the middle of the road so it requires some care to get close to. We happened to pass by again and noticed that there were hieroglyphics along the side of the column. It was quite amazing. It gets lit up at night but you can't see the golden tip. I also didn't realise that it was beside the Tuileries Garden and down the road (a bit far down) from the Arc de Triumph. It was something interesting to see and owrh the visit to the area.

The Monument is very close to the Armenian Church of Paris on Jean Gujon, so take time to visit both. Beautiful arrondisement so you can arrange your visit to Champ Elysees and visit those places too.

This impressive monument to Adam Bernard Mickiewicz of Poraj was a gift from Poland.

He was born in 1798 in Navahrudak (currently in Belarus ) in what was then the Polish-Lithuanian Union and died in Istanbul in 1855. In 1832 he arrived in Paris, becoming active in many Polish émigré groups. In 1834 he published his masterpiece: epic poem Pan Tadeusz.

This is a great statue of De Gaulle. He is seen in a very striking pose atop a very tall pedestal, way above ordinary humans, as it befits the great man.
