          <mods:abstract>In an effort to symbolically commemorate his Grande Armée, Napoléon Bonaparte ordered the construction of the Arc de Triomphe in the eighth arrondissement. Although construction officially began in 1806, the monument was not completed until the time of Louis Philippe's reign in 1836. In 1854, under the direction of Napoléon III and Haussmann, architects implemented plans to create six new avenues extending from the Arc, resulting in what is now known as the Place de l'Étoile (photographed here by Félix Nadar). Also a writer and caricaturist, Nadar is best known for his photographic portraits and aerial photography of Paris from his balloon "Le Géant," as well as for patenting aerial photography.
