Looming regally at the top of the magnificent Champs-Elysées is the Arc de Triomphe, built in honour of those who fought and died for France during the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. On the orders of Napoleon I construction began in 1806 and was completed in 1836 during the reign of Louis-Philippe. At the heart of this Paris icon inspired by classical arches lies the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Decorated with friezes and carrying the names of France’s great historical figures, the Arch de Triomphe offers one of the most beautiful views of the Champs-Elysées and Paris from its terrace more than 165 feet (50 metres) up.

After the resounding success of the exhibition at the MoMA in New York, Tim Burton has chosen Paris to unveil his work to the European public! Better known as a filmmaker, Tim Burton supplied contemporary mainstream cinema with a welcome breath of fresh air (Think about Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory etc...). More surprising is his work as an illustrator and photographer, heir to Edgar Allan Poe, the Surrealists, and constantly reinterpreting popular culture (including the small masterpiece that is The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy, and fantasy such as The Nightmare Before Christmas). Drawings, paintings, storyboards, models, costumes, film clips ... this exhibition is a unique opportunity to appreciate the extent of his artistic output. Visitors can discover the originality of his early work produced when he was a teenager, and later as a student at the prestigious school of CalArts created by Disney. There's behind the scenes footage of all his films, and films in super 8 or 16mm, early works digitised for the occasion.
