This monument is at the end of the historic axes :

If you go on the south-east-east, you will go out of the financial suburbs “La Defense”, through (follow of) The Champs Elysée Boulevard. You will enter in the “Place de l’étoile” (star place) where there is the “arc de Triomphe”. Then you will be in the main & famous part of the Champs Elysée. After that, there is the Concorde Obelisc (Egyptian), then a big Garden (Jardin des tuileries) and “Le louvre” (the museum & his glass pyramid).

But I'd like to think that those old trains were there on purpose. It's like going to the future (la Défense) thru the past (old trains).</p> Krazitchek, I don’t know cause I’ve been in Paris in 1998.
