On September 18th, local time, the art project "The Wrapped Arc de Triomphe" was officially opened to the public.
The Arc de Triomphe is completely wrapped by 25,000 square meters of recyclable fabric and fixed with 3,000 meters of red rope.
All fences and materials used for construction have been completely cleared.
A large number of people scrambled to take photos of the "Parceled Arc de Triomphe", and many people even stepped forward to touch the packaging materials of the Arc de Triomphe.
People also have the opportunity to come to the top of the Arc de Triomphe and watch this art project from a unique perspective.
According to Christo's idea, wrapping famous landmarks such as the Arc de Triomphe conveys "hidden" information, trying to show that things in front of you may be fleeting, and you should look at things around you with a whole new perspective.
The French government and the City of Paris strongly support the "Arc de Triomphe Wrapped" art project.
French President Macron expressed the hope that people can perceive a brand-new Arc de Triomphe through this art project.
The "Parc de Triomphe Wrapped" art project will be open to the public until October 3, after which the fabric and red ropes that wrap the Arc de Triomphe will be removed one after another.
