On the east and west fronts of the arch, which is 50m/164ft high and 45m/148ft wide, are four reliefs with over-lifesize figures depicting the departure, the victories and the glorious return of the French armies. Particularly notable is the relief by Francois Rude 1178-1855) on the Champs-Elysees front, “Departure of the Volunteers of 1792″, also known as “The Marseillaise“, which depicts the troops setting out, led by the winged spirit of Liberty. On the inner surface of the arch are the names of over 660 generals and more than a hundred battles.

From the viewing platform (reached in a lift by way of an intermediate level) are panoramic views, among the most striking In Paris, along the twelve avenues which radiate (from the Place de l’Etoile (see entry; now officially Place Charles-de-Gaulle); the straight line running from the Champs-Elysees to Place de la Concorde and the Louvre; in the opposite direction the Grande Arche in the heart of La Defense; to the north-east Montmartre, with the Saute-Coeur; and to the south the Eiffel Tower, the Dome des Invalides and the Tour Montparnasse.

A small museum below the platform contains an exhibition illustrating the history of the Arc de Triomphe, mementoes of Napoleon and relics of the First World War.

At the foot of the Arc de Triomphe is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, dedicated in 1921 as a memorial to the dead of the First World War.
