Tonight | The Arc de Triomphe: A Nation’s Passion on SBS and SBS on Demand

The Arc de Triomphe: A Nation’s Passion on SBS – Mornings of parades, afternoons of riots and evenings of jubilation.

At the heart of one of the most beautiful urban environments in the world, the Arc de Triomphe is an enigmatic structure.

Its original purpose and meaning has been subverted, diverted or betrayed, and it remains a witness to historic moments ranging from the Napoleonic Empire’s victories, to the Tour de France and the World Cup.

And yet, the history of this patriotic temple remains unknown. Desired by an emperor and built by a king, discover the true history of one of the world’s most famous monuments.

*Airing as part of SBS’s Focus On France collection.
