Porte Saint-Denis


Porte Saint-Denis was built in 1672 replacing a medieval gate in the city walls of Paris. This triumphal arch was designed by architect François Blondel at the direction of Louis XIV.

This is but a small section of the massive monument and arch. I related to this guy who was not having a good day.
