An architectural landmark in the Empire style, constructed in front of the Tuileries Palace by order of Napoleon to immortalize his victories between 1806 and 1808. From the arch, a 9-kilometer historical axis was laid out, composed of the Place de la Concorde, the grandiose Champs-Élysées with the Triumphal Arch, and the Grande Arche de la Défense.
The design of the arch was prepared by Charles Percier and Pierre Fontaine, who drew inspiration from the forms of the ancient Arch of Constantine in Rome. The structure is crowned with the quadriga of Saint Mark, brought from Venice. After Napoleon's downfall, it was replaced with a sculptural composition depicting the allegorical triumph of the Bourbons, created by sculptors François-Frédéric Lemot and François-Joseph Bosio.
The subjects of the sculptural ornamentation for the arch were personally selected by Dominique Vivant-Denon. They depict the Peace of Pressburg, Napoleon's triumphal entry into Munich and Vienna, the Battle of Austerlitz, the Congress of Tilsit, and the Fall of Ulm. Additionally, the arch is adorned with heraldic symbols of the Italian Kingdom and the French Empire.
Since 1888, the arch has been recognized as a historical monument.

The Cirque Fountain, also known as the Quatre-Saisons Fountain, is situated in the northern part of the Elysian Fields gardens, which form a part of Carré Marigny in the 8th district of Paris. It was installed in 1839 next to the Cirque d'été, which has since been demolished. Currently, it can be found in Jeanine-Worms Alley, near the Marigny Theater.
