King George had a tremendous reception. The route was lined with immense enthusiastic crowds which started to assemble hours before daylight. The Champ Elysees was lined with captured guns.
A dramatic incident was the opening of the Arc dv Triompbe in houour of the King's visit. It had been closed for 47 years, since it was defiled by the passage of Germans during the occupation of Paris. Frenchmen vowed it would remain closed until the stain and the national disgrace were removed. Napoleon built the arch in memory Of Austerlitz.
