On this exceptional night, the Place de l'Etoile became the crossroads where the city's emblematic monuments entered into dialogue thanks to the metamorphoses of the Arc de Triomphe.
Under the aegis of the Mairie de Paris and organized by the Comité des Champs-Elysées, more than 600 000 spectators attended a majestic show designed and produced by Les Petits Français on the "most beautiful avenue in the world".
On this exceptional night, the Place de l'Etoile became the crossroads where the city's emblematic monuments entered into dialogue thanks to the metamorphoses of the Arc de Triomphe.
A dynamic, interconnected Paris is expressed in the evolution of transport towards soft modes.
Paris, timeless world capital of art and culture, creation, and innovation.
The Arc takes on a catastrophic allure, acting as a spokesperson for the climate challenge to which Paris is committed at COP21, to be held in November and December 2015.
The last moments of 2014 transformed the Arc de Triomphe into a work of digital art, with the architecture changing perspective, multiplying tenfold and beating time by the second to mark the transition to the new year.
2015 is written in gold letters on the pediment of the building, giving life to a pyrotechnic crescendo that sets the sky over the Place de l'Etoile ablaze in a powerful chromatic evolution from warm tones to pure white.
