SYMBOLISM OF THE ARCH

The first bow to inspire the peoples of the world was cosmic in nature: the rainbow, made up of a semicircle and containing the seven colors of the prism.

Since the dawn of time, the rainbow has been regarded as a bridge over which gods and heroes crossed to ascend to heaven or descend to earth.

As a result, it has become a universal symbol.

Parisian triumphal arches date back to the Napoleonic era. They are the legacy of a tradition dating back to Roman civilization.
