When was the st. Louis arch built and how long did it take them?

Answer 1

It took 12 years to build the Arc de Triomphe, in two separate periods: 1806 to 1814 and 1832 to 1836.

In 1806 Napoleon asked the architect Chalgrin to construct a gigantic triumphal arch in honour of the French Army. The top of the Chaillot hill had to be levelled, and the foundations gave some difficulty, so that by the time the new Empress Marie-Louise arrived in 1810, the arch was only a few feet high. As the Emperor insisted that his bride must drive into Paris through this new gateway, Chalgrin had to get friends from the theatres of Paris to construct a fake arch of wood and canvas for the occasion. When Napoleon was defeated and exiled in 1814 work stopped, not to be started again till Louis-Philippe ordered it in 1832. It was finished in 1836.
