The smaller Arch de Triomphe du Carroussel was built by Napoleon at about the same time as the larger Arc de Triomphe on the Champs-Elysses, but is at the east end of the Jardin des Tuileries near the Louvre Museum. The four horses atop the arch were designed by Bosio and added in 1828. The large statues are of Napoleonic soldiers wearing the different uniforms of Napoleon's army.
