The Axe historique is a long, straight sightline stretching from the courtyard of the Louvre in central Paris toward the skyscrapers of La Défense in the west. You can identify this path by the succession of major monuments that anchor it, including the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, the Luxor Obelisk at Place de la Concorde, and the colossal Arc de Triomphe at the top of the Champs-Élysées.
