Recently a grand clean-up project for the four pillar sculptures of the Arc de Triomphe was started. Four teams are working around the clock to clean and restore the four sculpture groups that are featured on the famous arch: "Le Départ des volontaires de 1792" (known as La Marseillaise and the most famous of the monument's reliefs), by François Rude; "Le Triomphe de Napoléon de 1810", by Jean-Pierre Cortot; and "La République ou la Résistance de 1814" and "La Paix de 1815", by Antoine Etex. They hope the cleaning will be complete in time for the commemorative events marking the anniversary of Charles de Gaulle's "appeal of June 18". Now we only have the scaffold to enjoy in our photos.
