    Hiking

    It is a 44.3m high victory column that was built between 1806 and 1810. It was cast from 133 Austrian and Russian cannons.
    At the top it says…
    Napoleon, of course. :)

    The Victory Column is "crowned" by Napoleon and commemorates the Battle of Austerlitz (Battle of the Three Emperors), in which he - already as emperor - defeated an alliance of Austrian and Russian troops.

    An imposing blue, slender column in the center of the Place Vendome. A very classy area here.
