You're standing at the Porte Saint-Denis, a huge triumphal arch in the middle of a busy Paris crossroads. The Rue Saint-Denis, the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis and two big boulevards all meet right here. Take a look up. The arch is almost twenty-five metres tall and just as wide. Its model was the ancient Arch of Titus in Rome.
