L'Arc de Triomphe, Marseille

This is Marseille's version of L'Arc de Triomphe. There's a much larger version in Paris at the end of Champs-Elyées. I stole another photo, this time of an elderly man reading the paper in the shade of l'Arc.
L'arc reads "A la Republic Marseille Reconnaissante" meaning "Marseille is grateful to the Republic (of France)".
