It took 60 years to realize the vision of the cloaked Arc de Triomphe, and for 16 short days (Saturday, September 18 to Sunday, October 3, 2021) that vision became a sensual reality. Our poster, featuring an image by the longtime Christo photographer Wolfgang Volz, is more than a great souvenir: It allows you to take home and cherish this fleeting moment.
