Arc du Carrousel
Right in front of the Louvre Palace stands the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, built in honor of the 1805 Napoleonic victories. The Arc was inspired by the Arch of Septimius Severus in Rome. The best thing is that it provides a point of reference to the Gardens of the Tuileries, the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe.
